Email manager for several email accounts?

Ry@n · 3 Oct 2006 at 19:52

Hi, i have several email accounts, some personal, some business, some parents etc.

Is there a decent piece of software that lets me easily manage several email accounts in an organised way ?

Outlook seems to want to bundle them all together and make a mess of things, which thunderbird also seems to do.

Thanks for any help.

I was going to recommend Thunderbird but I saw you'd already tried it. Can I ask what Thunderbird does regarding "bundling" the email accounts? Do you mean that Thunderbird uses the SMTP server for the primary account with all other accounts?

I've tried it in thunderbird and, like outlook, you need to setup rules for each email account.

If message is recieved through account then move to folder

So make a folder for each of your accounts & then setup rules to make the emails from those accounts go into those folders.

EDIT

With Windows Live Mail desktop it automatically puts your email accounts each in a seperate folder and it's got the same basic layout as Outlook.

I use Thunderbird and it adds each account seperately, but only if you tell it not to use Local Folders
