Solved Need a good email client

I have Windows 8.1 with Office 2007 installed. I therefore use office outlook for my email.
I've been having some problems with it lately and ready to try a different email client. Can anyone suggest a good one to use where I won't have to change me email address and still has a spell checker?

I use Outlook but if I didn't I would use Thunderbird. Have used it before and installed for a few clients and they like it. Mozilla Thunderbird

Agrees with cyberSAR. Excellent client.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I use Windows Live Mail, if you do not like thunderbird you can always try this one

Outlook is actually hard to beat in terms of features. If you don't mind something simpler then a few applications come to mind (limiting myself to free ones, good commercial solutions exist too) :

• Mozilla Thunderbird. You might be put off by claims about its future (no more development) but it will still be supported for a long time (stability/security fixes still going on).
• Zimbra Desktop
• Incredimail
• Pegasus Mail
• Opera Mail
• eM Client
• Windows Live Mail / Windows 8 Mail App

Mailbird is another really great alternative for Windows users, Mailbird - Best Email Client for Windows 7, 8 and XP

It is especially awesome to have Mailbird, given the lack of alternatives for a fast, modern/polished and productivity focused email tool. Also, it actually feels and looks good when you are using it..considering how much time we spend with email.

Actually, I did try Thunderbird. But I'm so used to outlook and it's features and at my age of 82 it's hard for me to change. So I found a way to fix the bug that was in outlook. But I thank all of you for your input.

May we ask what the bug was and how did you fix it. It would help other.

Until 8.1 I never used outlook, but its ok now. I use it for FB notifications which keeps them out of my mainstream. I use as my main email - gmail, lots and lots of storage space to save emails, for rest of your life if need be. I have tried others like Thunderbird, and such, but always come back to gmail, cant be beaten.
