Alternative email client

I am looking for an alternative email client that has more business features than Apple Mail (I.e. out if office reply etc). Does anyone have any suggestions?

You can set up a rule in Mail to respond to incoming emails. You could also customize it so it would only respond to certain senders or other criteria.
However,
An out of office reply feature on an email client is a bad idea as it can easily get into an infinite loop when your out of office reply replies to another out of office reply.
I imagine it could be programmed to behave appropriately to account for all possibilities.
The other issue with client-based OOO replies is the client has to be running and receiving emails in order to respond to them. The server will always get the emails and can thus respond appropriately.
You can set an OOO reply in iCloud using the Web interface. Your email hosting service might be able to do the same.
Regardless, Mail is a very basic email client. There are some add-ons that can add features like tagging.

Sending emails from preview with alternative email clients

Hi, I've got a problem. I've changed my standard email-client from Apple Mail to Unibox. And, of course, I changed the standard email client in the adjustments of Apple Mail too. So everything is working fine except one thing:
When I try to send a pdf-file from Apple preview.app as a mail, nothing happens. What can I do to tell Apple Preview to use my new Mail-client Unibox for sending mails?

Hi, Kevin.
I understand your need to support sales leave-behinds from your DPS app, which is why I wrote that blog post in the first place.
The mailto: hyperlinking approach works well from a web browser, but the webkit overlay that we we get from iOS (that we use in DPS) is definitely not a browser. Browsers have special access to the local file system, where we would like to store PDFs to attach to email. The webkit overlay does not have this access, so we can't use the normal scheme of:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=my%20email%20message&body=see%20attachment&attachment="\\myhost\myfolder\myfile.p df" to pass the path to Mail.app.
This limitation means that you need to use some other method to provide access to that PDF. In my blog article (to which you refer), I provide a method to provide a form that would compose an email that contains a link to the PDF, which would need to be hosted somewhere the reader could access in their browser. An alternative to this approach would be to construct a server-side form that lets a validated user (sales rep?) select some files and send them to their customer. The email would need to be composed and sent from the server, and a quick Google search reveals whole pile of PHP examples of how to send email from a web form.
Frankly, for your use case of sales enablement, I believe that a server-side system is the better choice, because it would provide you with a way to manage that content outside of DPS, so you can update it without having to republish your .folios.
Thanks,
James

Sent emails are missing from Thunderbird following migration from alternative email client and import of emails

All sent emails are missing from the Thunderbird 'Sent' folder following import, but Sent folder still shows a count of the imported emails (Thunderbird considered them to be unread when importing them, hence the count). The messages are also visible online (BT Internet email) and on other devices (Android running BlueMail). Settings are set to place copies of sent items into Sent folder. Having imported all my old email, I can send email but again they do not appear in the Sent folder (but do appear online and on other devices). I have tried compacting the Sent folder and i have tried repairing the folder. All other folders (Inbox, other newly created folders) show the email i have imported.
If I move an email online from the Sent folder to another test folder, it syncs and appears in Thunderbird in that test folder. If I then use Thunderbird to move the email back from that test folder to the Sent folder then Thunderbird will do so, but locks up for a good minute or so while doing that.
Running TB 24.6.0 on Windows 8.1, incoming server set to IMAP on mail.btinternet.com (port 993), outgoing server set to SMTP on mail.btinternet.com (port 465).
Help gratefully received!

Cheers for that, Mulder.
It did seem to recover some emails which had disappeared from Mail, but not all of them. That's the frustrating thing - short of going through my Yahoo webmail accounts and logging every single email, and then cross-referencing with what's on my desktop, I just can't be sure what's there and what's not!
Sometimes it's immediately clear that something is awry - the folder I use for emails from my girlfriend is completely empty, for instance, when I definitely had things in there before the weekend. (Yes, again I went away for the weekend, with the computer still running - and Mail on - and again I returned to discover emails missing.
Arrgh!

Nokia Email Client

I have tried setting up and using the built in Nokia Email Messaging client with little success on my Nokia E63. From what I have read it seems that Nokia has unfortunately restricted it so it only works properly over a mobile phone providers data network and not WIFI. I read somewhere that they had done this because it is designed as a push email client and so needs a constant connection (plus they can charge for it). If you don't have a mobile data connection it won't let you set it up although sometimes you get lucky like with gmail. The problem is, even if you do set it up, it doesn't work properly anyway.
Does anyone know of a simple free or inexpensive alternative POP3/IMAP email client that will work over WIFI? I am not interested in push email, just something to check my email whenever I am using WIFI. There is Profimail but it's very expensive compared to to the other apps I have purchased for my Nokia especially just for casual. I have searched in vain and find it hard to believe that Profimail is the only alternative email client out there.
What of course would be better is if Nokia would allow the built in client to be used as a regular non push email one that works over Wifi as well.
I can access the accounts via the web, but often the mobile web interface is primitive in usability compared to an email client.

Hey hockford, check for emoze. Not really sure if it would work for your model but it certainly worths a try.

How can I set up another email client to send mail as my dotmac account?

My business uses an online application that can send emails to our customers as long as we provide it with an email account. I used the following from my mail.app:
SMTP HOST: smtp.mac.com
SMTP PORT: 25
SMTP_AUTH: true
SMTP USER: cryogen (my dotmac account and email)
SMTP PSWD: ****** (my dotmac password)
But, I cannot seem to get this to work. I tried it with another account I have with COMCAST.NET and I was able to successfully send emails using that account.
Is there something special about a dotmac account that I am missing?
Thanks.

The information you’ve provided now is what I was asking for. Unfortunately, it’s still insufficient. It’s critical to know here whether the SMTP server does actually accept or reject the request of the mail client to send the message. Any conventional mail client would allow you to know that. In Mail, for example, you know that the message has been sent because Mail puts it in the Sent mailbox (whether the message arrives at the destination is an entirely different issue). And if the SMTP server rejects the message for some reason, Mail will report what the reason is.
Whether I’ve actually set up a different mail client to send with a .Mac account is irrelevant -- I don’t even have a .Mac account, for that matter, nor do I need one. Gee, if I needed to have the same accounts as the people I help, I couldn’t be here. Fortunately, I just need to know how email works and what the idiosyncrasies of some email services are, if any.
Try setting up your .Mac account using a conventional alternative mail client, such as Thunderbird, and you’ll see that you can do that with no problems -- or, if you have problems, it should be pretty clear what they are exactly and how to fix them.

List of email clients/address books that will sync with palm desktop 6.2

Is there (and if not, I think there should be) a list somewhere of email clients whose address books will sync with a palm Treo (palm Desktop version 6.2)? I have been happily using various palm handhelds for about 6 years now and have been syncing the address book with Mozilla and now Thunderbird for the last couple years. I currently have an m130, but it's time to upgrade to a "smart phone" as I'm tiering of carrying around two devices. Unfortunately, the Treo requires palm Desktop version 6.2 which is not compatible with the Thunderbird palm sync. I have had the idea that Outlook (which I've never used or been exposed to) will sync with palm, but something I read gave me the impression that I would need to buy some third party software to make that happen, plus the $110 they want for Outlook. I would like to think there are other choices for someone who just wants to sync their smart phone with their email client's address book. It seems that such syncing ability would be esential to palm's sales and that a listing of all such syncing possibilities would be extremely beneficial to sales, particularly for new sales to people aren't already insiders on this sort of topic. The lack of ability to sync with Thunderbird may just cause me to stick with my old m130 awhile longer and give up on the idea of a nice new smart phone.
Post relates to: Palm m130
This question was solved.

Wow, thanks a bunch! You just saved me from a long, involved, and discouraging search for an alternative. I'm using WindowsXP, palm m130, palm desktop 4.1, Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 and Thunderbird's palm sync conduit palmsync-2.0.0.x-wsm . I'm wanting to purchase a Treo 700 on ebay, but went to the palm site, clicked on the support link, then the Treo 700, then the downloads tab and it directed me to desktop 6.2, which made me believe I would have to use that to sync a treo 700.
I do wish that both palm and Thunderbird would talk more about the palm Thunderbird palm sync. Unless you're a real geek or very determined (I'm the later), you're not likely to find out that such capability exists. I can't believe I'm the only one out there who needs to have my email client address book contacts with me all the time, so there has to be others who are looking for this.
Next stop, ebay - I have a smart phone to buy.

Adobe elements 11 Organizer. Setting Outlook 2010 as email client. (Windows 8 OS)

When I try to setup outlook 2010 as email client in the preferences Adobe services is the only option that will show up in the lookup list for selecting an email client. Is there some kind of issue between Adobe organizer and Windows 8?

MCOOK1155
Using my recently obtained Windows 8 64 bit, I have not been able to get Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer Share File Attachments or Photo Mail to work. From what I have read, Windows 8 has a problem with POP servers. But I suspect that what we are encountering goes beyond that.
At the onset, my only choice was Adobe Email Services for the Email client. After I installed Windows Live Mail 2011, I then had the choice for EMail Client of Windows Live Mail 2011 as well as Adobe Email client but neither solved the problem of no email generated.
a. For Adobe Email Service, used three different email addresses, got valid verification codes for each, was told by the program that I was good to email, yet after the email was prepared, no email with send button was generated for emailing.
b. I have looked at the system with two different anti-virus program...first McAfee and then Windows Defender.
c. I have changed the send to email addresses.
d. I have had no better luck using Windows 8 built in Mail app. In fact, my lack of success with the Photoshop Elements Photo mail feature and the Windows 8 built in Mail app was the reason for my looking for alternatives.
On a comparative note, when I use Photoshop Elements 11 in Windows 7 64 bit, I have the same problem with Adobe Email Service as the Email client. However, if Windows Live Mail 2011 is the Email client, no problems..email generated and sent successfully.
So based on my result, I would say that the answer to your question
"Is there some kind of issue between Adobe organizer and Windows 8?"
is Yes.
If Photoshop Elements 11 support says there should be no problem with this feature in Windows 8, then I would also be interested in knowing the details of its use of the feature to get the expected Photo Mail and File Attachment results.

How do you change the Selected Email Client

I have created a form that submits XML data by email.
The first time you click the "Submit by Email" button, a dialogue box opens up and asks you to select one of 3 options: "Desktop Email Application", "Internet Email" or "Other".
The problem that is occurring is that people will either not read the statement or out of ignorance select "Desktop Email Application" when in fact they have internet based email. There is no apparent way to go back and reset this preference.
Does anyone know where this preference is stored and how to change it?
Alternatively, does anyone know how to generate the XML file by an alternate method that could be saved and then attached to an email?
This has been a major problem that has prevented the use of this form, any help would be greatly appreciated.

This setting is handled by your Operating System. On Winddows (Win7) you go to Control Panel->Programs->Default Programs->Set Default Programs. On OS X you set this using the preferences of you email client. For example launch Mail and go to Mail->Preferences->General. The first setting is for default email client.
Hope this helps.

Alternative Mail clients for Exchange server?

Can anyone suggest alternate email client software that will work with an exchange server?
i hate Entourage, and need to look into alternatives after Mail stopped communicating with works Exchange server today!
Can't find any reason for the failure (even though my laptop and desktop both are having the same problem and both worked fine on friday!).
I looked at Thunderbird, but that doesn't support Exchange servers.
thanks
Adam

Hi Adam,
Don't know about Exchange Server, but check these two great eMail clients out...

TS3276 Hello all, I am getting the following message with some emails I receive:- HTML enabled email client required to read this email. I don't really understand this and don't know what to do to allow me to open the email. Any help? Thanks, Alex

Hello all, I am getting the following message with some emails I receive:- HTML enabled email client required to read this email. I really don't understand this message, am non techy, would anyone know how I can open and read the email? Thanks very much for any help, Alex

In Mail I suggest you try 'View->Message->Plain text alternative'.
Why? In multipart/alternative messages, such as this, the text/plain version should precede the text/html version, but Toyota have swapped them around. By default mail clients display the second version, assuming it to be HTML.
Very strange.

Can I set gmail as my default email client?

I am having trouble with Apple Mail and would prefer to use gmail as my default email client. Is there any way to do that in aperture?

Gmail is not a Mail Client. It's a mail service that needs a client to access it. That client can be a Web Browser, or an app like Mail, Entourage, Thunderbird etc. So, no you cannot set Gmail as the default email client. It's a bit like saying can I make HBO my Television Set.
If you want to use an app as default mail client in Aperture then the chosen app has to be scriptable, and that limits your options. There are only four supported: Mail, Entourage, AOL and Eudora.
Alternatively, you can access the Library from any Mail client or service via their Attach options:
In any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.

Or any Media Browser.

Two instances of Firefox open when I click on a link within my email client. How can I stop this from happening?

I am running on an iMac OS X 10.6.3 using Firefox 3.6.3 as my default browser and I use Postbox 1.1.5 as my email client. Anytime I click on a link within an email message two instances of Firefox open, one with my home page and one with the site the link was meant for. This happens only when Firefox is not already open. If Firefox is running and a link is clicked on it opens normally within the open instance of Firefox. I have contacted Postbox and am currently awaiting a response to see if they have any suggestions. While this is not a serious issue it is a bit annoying. I have Firefox set to open new links in tabs not new instances of windows, so it shouldn't be that. Any help in getting this to stop would be greatly appreciated.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Not sure, it's been going on for quite awhile.

That is a bug on Mac.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531552 - Firefox 3.6b opens two windows when opening external links
''(please do not comment in bug reports to avoid bug spam for the devs)''

Firefox will not open my email client when I click on a "mailto" link on any website. How can I fix this.

Anytime I drag my cursor across, or try to click on a "mailto" email link on any webpage, it will display an incorrect e-mail address (it seems to default to one in particular). It will not open a new e-mail window and if I "copy e-mail address" it's the wrong one. I've tried everything and was hoping with new updates the problem would solve itself but obviously it hasn't.
HELP ! This is driving me CRAZY

For the settings to check to ensure that Firefox opens your email client, see [[changing the e-mail program used by Firefox]]. I don't know why it shows the wrong email address.
