Foxmail was acquired in 2005 by Tencent Holdings. The English version (no Chinese) is also downloadable from the site ( go to "Downloads", the top entry in the sub-menu, then select whether you want the zipped file, or the exe file (download will start immediately upon selection).Foxmail was originally written by Allen Zhang (张小龙), an alumnus of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan.
but one with all the bells and whistles that other clients only can achieve with the help of extra programs. you either love or hate it IMO the strongest point for it is that is is an eMail client, and nothing more. section in the forum, and an up/download area for FoxMail templates, in which one of our forum members has uploaded a few beautiful HTML-templates.Ībout FoxMail. We also have a few FoxMail tools, a FoxMail FAQ, language packs, a How to. Please don't use the link that I provided before, it will end up in giving a "404". I forgot to enter the extention, the right address is: If, however, anyone encounters such a thing, and would want to give me that information, you may do so is obsolete, remove it to make a valid eMail address in the domain, please do not use this address to ask questions.)īack in June I entered a link to the forum here. I think it's one of those "urban legends". I have read about those "Chinese ads" on Usenet, however an invitation to tell me which template, and where the file was downloaded from were not responded to. (For that matter, can anyone tell me how one is expected to set up this program if say the server account has not yet been set up? With email, often client-side setups are done before the server account is created.) If the programmer ever reads this then I suggest he downloads an ancient copy of Eudora mail, (v 7.1.0.9 is still downloadable) and examine how eudora.ini works! Essentially, there's multiple ways of creating accounts off-line (which one often has to do in corporate environments). The programmer of this email program really is an imbecile, as he's not even thought the basic operational logic through before he's started programing! ini file or such that a user can edit beforehand. Nor, seemingly, is there a pre-configurable. Moreover, FoxMail WON'T EVEN START unless there's an account-no access to the server, the internet down etc. There's no off-line installer or obvious way to setup an account off-line, so the program is essentially useless in deployment terms. I have been using Eudora, Pegasus, Outlook, Becky, Thunderbird and many more and Foxmail is the best in all aspects. Sign up with one of them and install your Foxmail, as simple as that. There is Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail and many more free mail programs. Why do you want to install a mail program if you don't have a e-mail account. I can not understand the comments from Hilbert. It also works perfectly on a USB stick or portable drive. Version 7.2 with a clean install is using only have as much space as a upgrade. It is recommended to do a clean install instead of upgrading you can import all the mails, filters, labels, signatures, templates etc from the previous version (some copy and paste is required for some items like Labels. Importing all data from old version worked perfectly. To get the English menu had to delete the Chinese lgb files.
I have been using Foxmail for many years and it has never let me down. Just upgraded from version 7.1 (which seems to have some issues) to 7.2. If anyone knows of a good gmail contacts syncing program for Windows let us know! Other popular clients screw this up too (I usually end up with hundreds of duplicates on my Android.) I REALLY need a solution for this but I don't want to link my operating system to a Microsoft live account (too scarey!) However, it doesn't have a way to synch my address book with gmail. I love the fact that I can run it on a portable drive without installing it on each operating system I use. Since I use IMAP, I just want a simple, small, program. I use foxmail because all other email clients consume huge resources, including most browsers.
But this is missing in all versions of Foxmail. With RSS feeds I would also like to be able to search them. 3) When viewing the RSS list without a preview pane, or with preview on bottom, the titles in the list don't show at all. 2) There's no way to change the font of the view or preview panes, nor the background color. 1) The mail list is grouped by date and you can't ungroup it. With 7.2 you can't customize several annoyances.
