I use Outlook Express at home and Pegasus at work. Both are simple, functional, and suit my needs well.

Any MS email client is just asking to be the target of a virus or vbs script to run unless you actively work to protect yourself. run away!! run away!!! I use Eudora and like it a lot.

3 or 4 years on the Polarbar mailer (free here). It's java based, so I've used it on 4 different OSes so far, with no new learning curve. :)

Still being "developed", as it's open source. Not vulnerable to malicious HTML or VBS. Very configurable.

At work, I've used Lotus Notes (works, but not very configurable) and now Outlook (full version). Outlook/Exchange 2000 sucks. 'nuf said.

I'm using Outlook Express, but once I get back to school and have access to the Residential Computing CD with Eudora on it, I'll be back to that. I formatted recently and I don't have a copy of the disc at home with me.

Eudora Pro 5, I've been using it for years. I don't have to worry about all these damned Outlook viruses that always come out as almost no one uses Eudora anymore. I might switch someday, but for now it does exact what I want.

Why would you want to switch? Eudora actually stores your email in a format that can be converted, something OE doesn't do. OE sucks bad comparatively in almost every category. :)
