  • A good, free e-mail clien

    From Xplosive@VERT/ALLEYCAT to All on Fri Dec 25 20:30:00 2020
    Hello,

    I am a new Macbook Pro user. I bought a Macbook Pro 1.1 with Mac OS X 10.6.8 on 2020.11.18, and for some reason, I cannot open the Mail program. There are no error messages, the program simply does not want to open. I tried to look for alternative e-mail clients, but they are all paid programs. I am looking for a simple, good, free e-mail client for Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    Thank you for any suggestion!

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    Hi,

    Thunderbird is also available for macOS and should work fine.

    Regards,
    Anna

    Have you tried Apple Mail? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204093?utm_source=zapier.com&utm_medium=refer ral&utm_campaign=zapier

    Also Thunderbird is a very good free client. https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/?utm_source=zapier.com&utm_medium=referral&ut m_campaign=zapier

    Thank you for the suggestions everyone. I downloaded and installed Thunderbird 45.8.0 on my Macbook Pro 1.1 (Mac OS X 10.6.8), and it works properly. Have a nice day and happy new year!
