Office 365 is the biggest ripoff of all

no shortage of idiots who are buying it

Why not to download for really free Open Office, what's the same as MS (Word, Excel and all the usual stuff) - same formulas. Can open MS files as well, save in both OO files format and MS either (and vice versa). And moreover, all its files can export directly as pdf what the MS cannot.

Using for years - for free.

It doesn't help the OP who is looking for an alternative email client.

It was answered immediately.

See Post #2.

The rest is all waffle.

Thunderbird will do him.

Agreed, I've used OpenOffice for years and I'm a fan, but recently switched to LibreOffice which is also a similar concept
and freeware.

But, as Lom mentions, I was looking for a alternative email client.

I've been trialing Thunderbird these past few days and can't fault it thus far.


Thanks again for everyone for their suggestions.

Mate ... GREAT.

A fallback position should Thunderbird fail to live up to expectations.

Both shite and both monitored by state security apparatus no doubt, lest you say nasty things about their murderous leaders.

Of course. I don't have to buy it, I get all that shit free.

I would have thought an "IT Expert" would know that.

One wonders which software is not "monitored". I'm sure your suggestion isn't

all data is monitored, Harry saw all the forensic

If you don't want it in the public domain, don't put it on the interwebs.

Simples.

Hark! The "IT Expert" speaks!

says the Indian call center genius

But you implied Yandex was "monitered" but no mention of your suggestion being equally at risk.
