Looking for a user friendly email program other than Outlook, any suggestions? - HanMT


Posted: Jan 26, 2012

I currently have Outlook 2010 on my PC and I HATE IT!  I can't save any contacts.  I keep getting a message that says I don't have permission to save to that folder or something to that effect.  It's has an obnoxious toolbar at the top of the screen that I have to study every time I need to perform any kind of action. 

I really just want something simple.  I don't have Outlook Express on my PC which I would use if I had it.  I've been looking at Mozilla, Opera, Pegasus, Incredimail... I'm just not sure which one to use.  I want something that is simple, won't interfere with the functionality of my PC or slow it down, etc.

Give me your suggestions.

No, I mean an email program where I can download my gmail or other POP email - HanMT

to my PC, like Outlook.

I tried Incredimail when it first came out...sm - Old Woman

And at that time, there were issues with it. I use the email through my internet provider, which would also be web based. I don't have any suggestions for you but hope you find what you are looking for.

I use Mozilla, have been for about 6 months and so far no problems - mt

Suggestions For Improvement Of The MT Program At My College
Sep 27, 2010

Based on what I've been reading on these blogs, I realized how little prepared the grads of the MT program from my college actually were. So I wrote a letter to the assistant director of the program, making suggestions on how they could improve the training they offer; things like exposing students to REAL dictation, rather than just CDs of actors reading scripts; exposure to ESL dictation; including a course in speech recognition editing; including a course in medically-oriented ...

Email About New Fiesa Pilot Program

Did anyone else get that email? Anyone else think it is a joke too just like everything else related to Nuance?  "We have listened to your feedback about nitpickiness regarding QC1 scoring and have decided to try this program out."  So, they are going to start leaving QC1 reports out of Fiesa, so if we want to see any feedback for QC reports we have to email our TSMs for it, yet even more work that is unpaid, which I won't be doing (never really paid attention to QC feedback any ...

My thoughts:  I completely understand where you are coming from when you complain about how bad ASR is -- it is horrid -- BUT, on the other hand, if it were really great, we would have no job. So, as far as I am concerned, I will keep on making the corrections and hope it never improves.   ...

TTS - Friendly, Polite, Yet Professional
Mar 10, 2012

Earlier this week TTS contacted me asking if I was interested in working with them (I had applied back in 2010 and due to various working conditions offered, I had declined the position). However, this offer, I must say, was most attractive. I read the post below; however, after talking with the recruiter I found: a.  She was most knowledgeable and helpful with my questions, friendly, polite, yet professional. b.  Pay offered was close to 10 cpl (straight text) and close to 5 cpl (VR).  ...

Mar 31, 2013

Usual story -- I loved MT, but I'm about to be laid off and know another MT job would probably pay minimum wage (if that!).  I'm lucky, in that I'll get enough unemployment to live on and will probably still have enough savings to pay tuition.  However, I have no preexisting college degree, and both unemployment and tuition money will only stretch to about 5 quarters. I've already passed the CPC exam once, can brush up and pass it again.  My local co ...

I had a phone interview with them, and they don't sound like they're flexible AT ALL.  She even told me that they're not.  She made it sound like I have to be dying to miss any work.  They say they have excellent insurance, but their family insurance is around $700 a month!!  Plus she told me that I would have to type 7000 lines per week, but I saw on several posts on here that they only had to type 5500 lines.  So, I'm wondering if this company ...
