These pages will take me some time to finish. I'll try to get pictures of each step involved with configuring each kind of mail client to use Radke Land email services. If your client is not listed here, please either contribute pictures or ask me to try to get a quick guide to setting it up.
Before we get started with specific clients, here's my (purely opinion!) run down of available email clients. If the client can be freely downloaded, the title will provide a link to where it can be acquired.
- Thunderbird
- I just discovered the Thunderbird email client (Jan 2007)), and I'm in love! This client is quick, easy to use, and it just works.
- Opera M2
- I used Opera for years, and it works well with POP servers. The IMAP implementation seemed strange to me, so I switched to Thunderbird
- Evolution
- Evolution is gorgeous. Unfortunately, the Microsoft Windows version is still in development. If you run GNU/Linux, this should probably be your first choice. If you use windows, you can still dig around and get it working. The version I played with in January, 2007 wasn't so stable.
- Microsoft Outlook Express
- I have no experience with this client. I expect it will work fine.
- Microsoft Outlook (Various versions)
- I use Outlook 2002 at work daily (we're locked in by some infrastructure choices), and it works well. Setting up the IMAP for use with Radke Land was equally painless.
- Eudora
- I have no experince with Eudroa. It does have an excellent (historical) reputation, however. Eudora features three modes, with various costs, check out the link above for more details.
What? I didn't list your email client? Well, wikipedia has 30+ different email clients listed. Don't worry about it! In the end, the setup for all of the clients is essentially identical.
