Subject:Re: Outlook, thunderbird, or... From:John G <john -at- garisons -dot- com> To:Debbie Hemstreet <D_Hemstreet -at- rambam -dot- health -dot- gov -dot- il> Date:Wed, 27 Feb 2013 08:27:38 -0500
I'm with Anne - Gmail. I have several email accounts and I use them
seamlessly in Gmail. My company uses Gmail, so I have two Gmail accounts
and they're easy to manage as well. It is always there wherever I can
access the net, and since I have an Android phone, it's super easy and
convenient there. I even get my work Gmail chat requests on my phone. There
are lots of near add-ons from Google labs too. And best of all - it's free.
I finally made the switch when I had to move T-bird to a new system - it
took forever and lots of trial and error. With gmail, you just type in a
URL and log on.
And of you're concerned about security, you can use Google's two-step
authentication which virtually eliminates the chance of someone hacking
your mail account.
My 2¢,
JG
