business environment - outlook 2003.
home use - thunderbird or eudora.

Why is thunderbird better for home user?

Thunderbird is open-source, has a bunch of extensions and themes. Also, Thunderbird is still less used than Outlook, so in some ways this makes it more secure. The only problem with thunderbird is that it doesn't support HTTP accounts. This was a burden at first (I was using hotmail) but it caused me to switch to gmail which has pop forwarding

Eudora Pro 6.2 is a powerful mail manager, and it can be run from a CDR. The mail files and indexing data base files are easily backed up. The filters are strong. And it can display embedded as well as attached images, and also will play embedded sound files.

added eudora

The gmail web interface should count. I can't think of a better one at the moment.

That's not a user agent, it's a transfer agent. Unless you like to telnet in and speak smtp

Thunderbird here, small, simple, the way I like it. I let the server do all the work. (spam filtering, message storage/backup, etc)
