Some email clients make reading and writing messages more fun than others. Here are four that offer something a little different than your typical apps.

Do you remember Outlook Express, and do you remember it fondly? Even if you’ve never used Outlook Express, chances are you’ll like OE Classic, a modernized clone of the old email standard. A simple interface, support for extensive email editing, and, most importantly, fancy Outlook Express email stationery make OE Classic a fun email client to use.

DreamMail manages email and RSS feeds conveniently and easily with stationery, labels, and related message searches. However, international language support is limited, DreamMail's spam filter seems ineffective, and IMAP accounts are not supported.

Foxmail has many great features that make emailing easy and fun. It is easy enough for beginners to use, but also has tools and features that experts will appreciate. Although it looks similar to Mozilla Thunderbird, Foxmail is not affiliated with Firefox.
