I use Eudora Pro at home and Microsoft Outlook at work. I'm actually starting to like Outlook better, although I have had to create my own macros to easily access the menu titles. One of my biggest requirements in an email program is the ability to automatically sort mail (for example, anything addressed to voice-users@@voicerecognition.com goes to one specific mail box). Both Eudora and Outlook allow this.


My sister (who also uses DragonDictate) likes Outlook Express, I haven't tried it yet.


I did try Netscape's email program, and hated it.

I like Forte Agent (not "Free Agent").
