AmigaMail

[swift240]

When I first installed OS3.9 a few years ago, I tried out the AmigaMail program.
Not good to use if you want something that is reliable.

As a matter of interest does any one actualy use AmigaMail?
Has any one actualy got it to work so it actualy gets IN and actualy goes OUT with mail?

I have found it very unreliable to say the least.

I myself use SimpleMail and YAM.

This is just of an interest nothing more to see how many out there have acutaly got it to run and work properly.

This is a very old thread but i give my opinion here anyway, as i just installed 0s3.9 on my A1200 with a ethernet connection.
Amigamail seems to behave very strange, it doesnt seem to send and recive my mail everytime i try it? sometimes it works perfectly but as Mike here says, its not very reliable. I have to try Simplemail and Yam.
What other Mail programs do you people use?

I use SimpleMail if I want to use a full mail client. It's very good. Never tried YAM since my mailbox is IMAP, which isn't supported by YAM. SquirrelMail (web-based IMAP client) works perfectly in IBrowse as long as you have SSL working.

AmigaMail is not installed correctly by the installer. It creates a directory where actually it needs a file. And some of the configuration options are not easy to understand. But once it is configured correctly, it works reliably. (Not that I used it much, just tested it once or twice.)

A couple of years back I attempted to see if you could live without MUI.  AmigaMail was the program that convinced me you couldn't :-)
