Mail clients tend to be the winsock app users work with most often. Almost everyone sends and receives e-mail on a daily basis, and the clients used for these tasks range from the feature-replete to the feature-deplete. A solid mail client will allow you to do more than just send and receive mail; it will sort your mail into folders based on specified filters, it will spell check your work automatically, it will allow you to create address books and mailing lists of your 1000 closest friends, and it will even allow you to auto-respond to certain messages. For novices, most of these features are over-kill, but for more experienced users, these additional features can mean the difference between keeping up with the Constant influx of messages and falling far, far behind. For this reason, I recommend that you choose your mail client very, very carefully. While a less-advanced mail client may suit your needs at first, you'll quickly come to realize the benefits of the more advanced clients as you become more experienced (and you start receiving many more e-mail messages ;-) The following are brief descriptions of each application featured on the Mail Clients Page.
