If you eat in a restaurant every day, would you then eat the same dish day out and day in - rejecting all the other dishes on the menu?
- If we are travellers and need to communicate during our travel...
- Or travel professionals moving our services online to be able to adjust ourselves to clients' new online communication...
Whatever - why should we all eat the same email dish - a standard menu we only received as part of a package?
Fact is that most started their email career with the email client that happened to come with the Netscape or IE browser that was installed initially in our PC's - and most still use it...
Nothing wrong with that; both are good email clients - still it is like coming to a restaurant and only finding one single dish on the menu. Maybe a good dish - but we all have different tastes and preferences - or don't we?
For travel professionals as travelers - it should be important to find the best email client for our different needs. Some need the best solution "on the road" and other the best in the office or home - and then all options existing in-between. So what do you say - should we not start to have a look at the menu?
As told in last article in this serial - for me a professional email client has at least a spelling checker included. I will here present my own favourites - still that doesn't mean that there are not other very good email clients out there - still these are my personal top recommendations after having downloaded and tested around 70 different email clients. Of other good email clients, I can briefly mention Calypso, The Bat and Eudora Pro (but only the Pro version of Eudora mind you...).
The email client I use most of the time are Pegasus - it's an old-timer that sent its first email back in 1989. The story behind one of the most advanced email clients around is a story about one person, David Harris (- with a lot of support from faithful users). See just some of the links to support and family around Pegasus HERE - and some more HERE.
Believe me - there are even more links and add-on programs, because you soon find out that using Pegasus is a bit like becoming a member at Suite101, you suddenly find out that you have become part of a large online family (-:
