Using email clients with a NetManager
A NetManager is a full SMTP/POP3/IMAP mail server and its webmail module is an IMAP mail client. However, you can access your email using any mail client ou wish. We recommend you use IMAP instead of POP3 as then your email will remain on the server. This means you can use multiple clients depending on where you are (e.g. Thunderbird on your normal workstation, Outlook from a different Office and webmail when at home), plus your mail can be centrally backed up (with POP3 the mail is stored on your client; if that crashes you may lose all your email).
Thunderbird
Mozilla Thunderbird is our recommended mail client.
It's available for virtually every modern operating system, is secure, has good spam and phishing filters as
well as allowing you to read and compose clean, compatible emails.

MacOS X Mail.app
The built-in MacOS X Mail client supports IMAP out of the box.

Outlook 2003
Microsoft Outlook 2003 seems to be some people's email client of choice.
As standard, it generates rather unfriendly emails and tends to assume that
the person the other end will be using Outlook too; hardly in the spirit of
community that the Internet should be providing.

the world, a.k.a. ensure your message is clear and means what it is
intended to.
