It is not commercial (free), constantly under development, and the address book lives on your own computer. I use it since 1998 an never has any truble with it.

Re: [Ql-Users] Email advice needed
I've just read (as I was about to re-install Thunderbird on this new PC) that it is no longer to be supported by Mozilla. Maybe wrong of course, anyway it prompted me to look at Opera and it's stand alone mail program, so far it seems slick - but another start screen All the best - Bill On Wed, 17 Jul 2013 19:54:07 +0100, Geoff Wicks gtwi...@btinternet.com wrote: On 17/07/2013 06:19, Wolfgang Lenerz wrote: Hi, So you need a standalone mail prog.

[Ql-Users] Email advice needed
I am currently replacing my 10 year old desktop and am using the situation to reassess the programs I use to go online. I would be grateful for any suggestions people could have about email programs. In particular I need a program with its own secure address book. My problem is that btinternet is Yahoo under an assumed name and Yahoo does have security issues. Both Yahoo and Microsoft seem to want you to put your address book on their servers and, for obvious security reasons, I want my address book to remain firmly on my own machine, Best Wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] Email advice needed
Hi Geoff, Open Source solution should be the right solution. I use and develop around owncloud (http://owncloud.org/) as always use more than one computer (Laptop, Desktop, SmartPhone). But this need you get your own server. For PC stand alone solution, you may dig using ThunderBird as it should be one of the latest independent mail manager.

Hi Geoff, Re: My problem is that btinternet is Yahoo under an assumed name and Yahoo does have security issues. Both Yahoo and Microsoft seem to want you to put your address book on their servers and, for obvious security reasons, I want my address book to remain firmly on my own machine, Like you, I would never choose either (or any similar web-based servers). I (attempt to) keep my address book etc 'safe' by using desk-top e-mail via an e-mail client program. For years, I have been very happy with it, and with my non-mainstream ISP (as are all my 'clients' where I have installed the same set-up). I dread helping those who have problems and/or are very busy with web-based accounts - and that dread is very hard-earned! Of course, e-mail direct should you like more detail.

Re: [Ql-Users] Email advice needed
Hi Geoff, Thunderbird I'd probably what you need. The address book lives on your desktop PC and not in the cloud. Pop3 and IMAPP can be set up depending on what your ISP has given you. There are versions for Linux, Windows and I think, Mac. I use Linux version, and have done - happily - for years. I have not tried any others as I am perfectly happy with Thunderbird. I have about 5 different accounts set up using it. HTH Cheers, Norm.. Sent from my HTC ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] Email advice needed
I also use Thunderbird and have been for about (checking oldest e-mail) ... Nov. 2007. Been working like a champ. Just remember to find out where the Thunderbird files are (mailbox, address book, etc) so you can back them up. I also use the add on that provides Calendar and task lists. It works the same for Windows, Mac and Linux. Another option is that some web browsers have an e-mail client built in. Before Thunderbird, I used Opera and it had an e-mail client.
