Can someone please describe some of the features of Microsoft Outlook and a web based email programme ...?

...such as Lycos or Yahoo?





I am thinking along the lines of cost, security and other features of the programmes, as I don't know which one to opt for.





I have tried an Internet search but I can't find any useful information.





Thank you

I would most defenetly go with microsoft outlook. But in order for you to use microsoft outlook you must already have an account setup somewhere. If you are refering to setting up a new e-mail account, I would recommend Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail from microsoft. All three of this can be configured to download the messages to outlook as well. So you can have an account setup with gmail and have the messages forwared to your outlook client keeping a copy in the server (the actual website where you go to retrieve your e-mail).





There are many different type of servers you can use with outlook, this include, IMAP, POP3, Exchange and some http servers such as hotmail are supported.





Outlook just as outlooke express, incredit mail, thunderbird and others are just clients. In order for them to work, you need to already have an account from somewhere and know your servers and connection requirements. You can get this info from whaterver e-mail provider you choose to use. Good luck.
