eM Client

I have been a user of Microsoft’s Outlook since 1998.  I have upgraded Outlook every time MS put out a new version and felt it was worth every penny. (It isn’t cheap.)

However I have found an email program that does just about everything that Outlook does and it is free! This little jewel is eM Client.

It comes in a Pro version as well if you need to have more than two email accounts. (Only $49.95 for the pro versus over $100 for Outlook.)

I have been using it on Windows 8.1 and it performs as advertised. It imported my Outlook .pst with no problems and even imported the account settings without me telling it!  Of course if you don’t want the account, you can remove it and add whatever account you want. The free version is limited to two accounts.

If you are looking for a really great (and free!) email program comparable to MS Outlook, I suggest you try eM Client.  You will more than likely never go back to what you are using now.
