Learn Ethical Hacking - No More a Secret

Almost all of us have one or more email accounts and most of us check our Inbox regularly using either web browser or a dedicated email client.
Now-a-days almost all email service providers like Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, etc provide so many advanced features in their web interface which makes the use of email desktop client negligible.
But personally we prefer using an email client over web interface. Most of the people who use an email client, prefer to use Microsoft Outlook which comes bundled with Microsoft Office suite but Microsoft Office is not free.

Today in this topic we are going to share some free email clients which can be used as an alternative to Microsoft Outlook:

1. Windows Live Mail

Windows Live Mail is our favorite email client and that's the only email client which we use. It provides all basic and advanced features which you need in an email client. Our favorite feature in this email client is the "2-line vertical view" which is not present in any other email client except Postbox (not free) and eM client.
Windows Live Mail also comes with calendar, RSS feed and newsgroup support.

2. Mozilla Thunderbird

Thunderbird is one of the most popular email clients. Its developed by Mozilla and can be used in Windows, Mac and Linux. Thunderbird and Firefox both are based on same Gecko engine so you'll find lots of similarities in both applications.
Similar to Firefox, Thunderbird also supports extensions and themes which makes using Thunderbird a fun.

3. Zimbra Desktop

Zimbra Desktop is another free email client which allows you to meld the online and offline worlds - storing and synching your email, calendar, contacts, files and documents in the cloud, yet having them locally accessible when on the road. Zimbra Desktop aggregates information across accounts (Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) and social networks (Facebook, Digg, Twitter, etc.) to help make communicating & sharing information easier than ever.
