The Peter Pan of Nerdery™Jul 11, 2025

In the late 90's I was looking through all sorts of #email clients for #Windows. #OutlookExpress was probably the most popular but it didn't do "enough" for me. #Outlook was too bloated and was also commercial. I used something called #Eudora for a while and then found a niche client called "#TheBat" from a company based in Moldova.

It was AMAZING.

It still IS amazing. I still use it, more than 25 years later. It has never failed on me. Best email client ever created. https://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/

I turned that categorization feature off as well. Call me spoiled by such applications for Windows as the classic #OutlookExpress, but I like to set up my own message rules which can not be done in iOS itself, but is dependent on the mail server you're using instead. Sorry, not acceptable. But yeah, I've got my mail app set the classic way without the so-called categorizing.

I'm playing with #BetterBird for email these last couple of days, since, for some silly reason, GMail is only allowing me to grab one email at a time with #OutlookExpress now, and that's a pain in the ass, especially if I've gone for more than a day without checking my email. I have to keep pressing the f5 key to refresh and it grabs one, maybe two pieces of mail each time.

So proud of myself! I was able to recover #email for a client that was stuck inside a .dbx file from #OutlookExpress. With nothing but a terminal on my #Linux box! She's going to be so happy! 😁

The program I used was called unDBX for anyone interested:
