email client setup..

[fvaldes]

how do u guys keep track and organize all your email accounts
and what clients do you use?

I am going nuts here trying to set up everything on a mac/macbook pro and a PC using IMAPS so that everything gets synched everywhere.

I am using Outlook 2011..... sometimes things work, sometimes all hell breaks loose.

Google Apps + Thunderbird and IMAP

yeah, have tried Thunderbird and really liked it.

how exactly are u using Google Apps to manage your mail accounts though?

I'd be interested in hearing some better solutions as well. I currently use OS X Mail exclusively, and then have all my accounts on my iPhone/iPad. This has its shortcomings since accounts aren't very well segmented, and I sometimes end up sending company mail through my personal e-mail account, and vice-versa. It seems as though OS X Mail occasionally chooses accounts at random for outbound messages.

thats exactly what happens to me as well.

I want to have all my accounts automatically synched across all my computers and iphone.

Google Apps

All emails accounts go into Google Apps, and get a label according to what account they're from. But otherwise they all go into the same bucket.

Then I sync my phone to Google Apps.

Well it allows you to share your email easily from one place.

You setup your domains on Google Apps then create your individual accounts for that domain, then using IMAP you can put all your emails on Google Apps and then sync them on anything using IMAP. You're going to have to change your MX settings on the respective domains nameservers which is the hardest part, but once you're all setup it's gold.
