What camera did you use for this? The quality is amazing.
Kerry Webster | September 29th, 2009 @ 7:23 pm |
Second the ‘What camera did you use?’

I agree. It’s more like the Flash encoder they use makes the difference. Too bad the software is not available as a client, but as server side script upgrade via wordpress.com.
As for the email client, I choose Windows Live Mail, it works like a charm.

Thanks! The video was shot on twin 5D Mark IIs
Michael | September 30th, 2009 @ 3:57 pm |
Thanks Michael.

Also, count me as a vote for GMail.
I use every Google service daily.

Nice job with the shallow depth of field – very cool look
Matthew Rotunda | September 29th, 2009 @ 11:31 am |
Nice video – Looks like you used a Nikon SLR with video capabilities? Like a D90, etc..
Chris | September 29th, 2009 @ 1:22 pm |
If you’re going to do a question/answer format, this is the way to do it. Short, to the point, personal – very well done.
I am a RoundCube fan myself, because of it’s overall simplicity.

Gmail is the way to go!
Paul Stamatiou | September 29th, 2009 @ 2:12 pm |
Wow that’s some nice bokeh and video work.
Matt | September 29th, 2009 @ 2:26 pm |
and Thunderbird has an easier search feature than Outlook…that was my biggest gripe when having to switch mail clients.
Ednaldo | September 29th, 2009 @ 2:34 pm |
Great idea. Simplicity and brevity. I await the next.
Darren | September 29th, 2009 @ 2:54 pm |
Agree about Thunderbird for personal use, but for work Lotus Notes 8.5.1 for the Mac is incredible.
Towel | September 29th, 2009 @ 3:46 pm |
I always use Gmail and it also can be set in different ways, even with pc’s personal Outlook Express if one desired so. Amazing looking video quality. ta
Jaypee | September 29th, 2009 @ 4:35 pm |
Great video. Like what Chris mentioned, it was short, to the point and personal.
Btw, my email client of choice is Thunderbird. I’ve been using it for about 6 years now and I use it to access my Gmail account.

“Video using VideoPress and filmed/edited by Michael Pick.”
Yes, the video kicks ace and so does VideoPress. Check out that link at the top of the vid.

I’ve tried using Thunderbird a few times, but I guess I’m just not used to it. The evil I know is Gmail and I’ve fallen in love with the idea of everything being in the “cloud”. I’ve also set up a few of my domains through Google apps which I love.
Has anyone tried zoho?
Anyway, love the video. Can you ask Michael what kind of camera he is using? It looks great.
Amit Agarwal | September 29th, 2009 @ 10:04 pm |
Thanks Matt & Michael. We need more videos like these.

All about open source.
However, your closing comments about being able to use IMAP and your own domain. This has been possible with Google Apps for years.
Also, if you use Gmail it also looks the exact sme on both clients as it’s in the browser.
The best solution is to run IMAP on Google Apps (very easy, and process automated completely if you host with DreamHost). Then you can IMAP into Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.
If you just use thunderbird, and wish to check your mail remotely, (not on your own computer), then you are stuck with the default usually horrible web host providers email web based client.
So you may wish to clarify your title as Which Desktop Email Client as not to confuse you readers. Great video techniques though.

Thanks for sharing the Thunderbird add-on, I’ve been using Thunderbird since the beginning and never knew of it! Love it!
matt mcinvale | September 30th, 2009 @ 10:34 am |
thanks for the gravatar in thunderbird trick! just installed it the add-on.
Leonid Mamchenkov | September 30th, 2009 @ 2:48 pm |
Matt,
have you tried mutt?
That is THE most flexible and configurable mail client I ever came across. And it’s open source software too.
Boris Strahija | October 2nd, 2009 @ 2:46 am |
Check out Postbox, it’s really nice
Douglas Hanna | October 2nd, 2009 @ 5:51 am |
Thanks for answering my question. I use a combination of Gmail and Thunderbird and have been pretty happy overall.
Mauro | October 2nd, 2009 @ 9:18 am |
I was used to Outlook and some of its features are really useful for work but it just consumes too much memory, so I decided to move all my accounts to Gmail. I have to say that I am happier than with Outlook but still there are a few things that could be better. Looking forward to try thunderbird.
Mihai Secasiu | October 5th, 2009 @ 7:12 am |
Thunderbird is my favorite too. Well it’s the only one that’s good for Linux anyway
. I keep trying to use Evolution but I can’t get used to it and it doesn’t have the cool features and extensions.
Thanks for the message faces extension.

Wait wait wait… if you’d like for all software you use to be open source, why are you sitting on that couch with a macbook in your lap? Are you running GNU/Linux on it?
Matt | October 8th, 2009 @ 11:45 pm |
That’s not my MacBook, but aside you are correct that I’m not fully OS in my OS yet. I try to switch to Linux (lately Ubuntu) about once a year and every year it gets closer.
Michael Torbert | October 8th, 2009 @ 11:58 pm |
My comment below was a reply to Job and Matt. I guess I goofed when hitting reply.
Job | October 9th, 2009 @ 12:08 am |
Awesome! Though, remember that there’s more than Ubuntu around – Ubuntu uses the GNOME desktop, you should try a KDE desktop too and see if it suits you better. (Like Kubuntu.)
Michael Torbert | October 8th, 2009 @ 11:56 pm |
I wouldn’t use Linux as a desktop OS just for the sake of using something Open Source. Depending on your needs, something like Ubuntu could be fine (though I’d personally use CentOS), but if you have more particular desktop application needs for your computer, Linux may not suffice quite yet with the available software.

I’ve just bought a Canon 5D mark II as well!
I’m a wedding photographer so need something that is high quality and this baby rocks – for stills anyway. And you can do excellent video as well – as seen here!
