================================
A really good email client & Spam remover .
I can look at my mail on the ISP's server , delete ( spam removal ) , reply , click on links & if I want it on my comp , click on Move to > Archive .
Use right click for some of the functions .
You can still leave any other email client installed . Just a matter of choosing which one you want as default .
