Best e-mail client?

[jjones]

OE. I'm surprised to hear people say it crashes on them, I've been using it for years and never a problem. I've used Eudora Pro and lots of people say it's better and it does have some better features but I never really took to it. Tried the Bat once; thought it sucked.

 

[vi edit]

Outlook when hooked to an exchange server is an amazing program. Even after a year and a half of implementing it, I still haven't even begun to tap a fraction of the features available.

The calendar and collaboration services are spectacular.
