Is there an online mail client similar to Outlook or Thunderbird?

Konrad Walsh asks:

Is there such a thing? I dont mean gmail or hotmail.
I mean, an online service whereby all my mail accounts can be collected to one place. Is there any online version of this?

    I know you mentioned “not Gmail”, but Gmail actually does this:

    I’m not aware of any web app that only does this, but it is an additional feature in Gmail.

    Hello, ZOHO mail can access account from several services.  While it does not have all the options that outlook and thunderbird provide, you can do your basic email tasks.  Here is the link for the program and more info:

    There are various freemail providers who allow you to collect emails from other accounts too e.g. including Gmail, Hotmail, mail.com respectively gmx.net inc

      I second that. GMX has an the most similar interface to Outlook etc.

    I heard about Roundcube. Check your search engine ’roundcube mail”, from what I saw in screenshots looked like an alternative for offline e-mail clients.

    I use Gmail to pull & send from several accounts, and find it more powerful & intuitive than Outlook (plus can do it all on my phone with the Gmail app)

Please wait...
