Hi Mac People.

Just a quick question really. I have found most of the apps I use on the pc, which was nice because I thought it would be very hard.

Anyhow, coming from outlook 2003 the default client in OS X is pretty poor imho. I tried thunderbird and its ok, any other good alternatives ?

Cheers

Why didn't you like Mail.app? What OS version are you running?

To be honest with you, I used to use Eudora, and even when I switched to OS X (many years ago now) I still used, it then got fed up with it, I then switched to Entourage, which is part of the Office suite and essentially is Outlook for Macintosh. I stated with this for a fair while, before deciding to give mail.app a try, and I've been with it ever since.

It's junk filtering is pretty impressive and I've found it to be a good all round mail client.

Ok, well the issue I have is that I cant even create a folder to sort mail into

Should be a "New Mailbox" command under the "Mailbox" menu. This will create a new mailbox where you can drag and drop messages to manually, or you can setup a rule to put them in there automatically, and it will work on mail that already exists, so you can sort your existing imported mail into whatever mailboxes you want.

Have a look under the Help menu for Mail help, in case I've got the menu or command name wrong, they did change the names of things in one version.

I am using Entourage, never quite felt happy with Mail for some reason...
