Long, Long time ago I had an E-mail Client that ran in DOS, did not do graphics but did protect me from E-mail viruses since it downloaded them in 7 bit encoded format (They can't run that way) and I deleted them.. But alas that's no longer practical
So looking at all the stories of computers being Infected by those infected E-mails (And yes I got sent many infected E-mails) I choose to use a web mail client, My Provider supplied a very good Web interface.. That way the infected E-mails never show on my hard drive and thus never infect.
Now just for fun I tried to download an infected E-mail once... Finally gave up after page after page of "Are you really sure you want to do this?"
And that is the client I suggest. Your ISP's or E-mail provider's web interface..
Another advantage, I have two computers, a smart phone and a tablet, ALL of them can read any E-mail any time I choose (provided a connection) no need to be limited to any one device.. once downloaded from the host and stored on a single device, (if you delete as I have always done) other devices are SOL on accessing the E-mail.
yes, I know deleting E-mail is politically incorrect, but sooner or later the host overflows with offers of ..... Ur, I won't say it (My host deletes those for me as SPAM, after letting me review the headers of course)
