Suggestions of better Windows MUAs are of course
welcome, but I'm *really*
tight on disk space so don't want something that comes bundled with a web
browser / whatever which I won't use anyway!
Well, for myself I'm using Pegasus Mail 4.21 with MS-Exchange
and IMAP. Works fast, does usualy exactly what I want, no
super duper functionality, nust what I need ... and, did I
mention already, that it's reasonable fast? I have it running
even on a 200 MHz machine with 256 and XP? A nice Mail/WWW
station BTW. All files are basic classic mail files, so, lot
of old shell tools can be easy adapted to at least read from
there - originaly this was important for my, by now I only use
what PM offers.
And it sucks up 'only' about 6 MB Diskspace and a Memory
footprint of some 8 MB (on a 2 GB system) with lots of open
folders. Beside the actual 32 Bit version, there's a 16 Bit
(Win 3.1, Win 9x) and even a DOS Version is available.
Gruss
