What E-Mail Program/Client do you use most of the time?

You can also explain why you use that program/client, if you'd like. (Please bump when you vote if you do not explain.)

(I know it is a Windows-centric poll. That is on purpose)

Outlook 2003. Tried Thunderbird 1.0 a long time ago. Outlook works just great for me so haven't even tried exploring other options.

AT&T/Yahoo is my default e-mail program, (they say it's Outlook based, but??)
Other than that, I use Gmail for 75% of my email.

I use mail since it came with OS X and does the job excellently. It is the different mentality between Apple and Microsoft personified. Mail does email, and does it incredibly well, I have other applications like Address Book and iCal to handle the other tasks that are included with Outlook, and those other apps integrate with Mail flawlessly, but arent always in the way like they are in Outlook. I did use to use outlook, but I am not in a business environment, so I dont need all the exchange support and what not... so Mail.

Outlook Express.
It's quick, simple, light, and FAST.

Although I did recently switch to Outlook 2003 and redid everything two days ago so I can sync with my 8125.

I used to use Thunderbird, but now I only use Thunderbird to archive to my computer. I use gmail because it makes it easier to manage between multiple computers. I was having trouble getting Thunderbird to work right between my desktop and laptop (so both have all my email messages).

I haven't used an installed mail client at home since the last millennium. I use web-based mail through my Web hosting company and offload a lot of risk to them.

The real question is why people still use actual clients/appz? :confused:

I've always used online-based email...don't see the point of hassling w/ a program when i can access my email from anywhere w/ Gmail.

Exactly ... 99% of the time I use Gmail only.
