E-mail clients
There are many clients on the market. My personal view is that Outlook and Outlook Express are too security-weak to be seriously considered. I have tried several others and found them all far-from-ideal. Which are your favourites?

I still use pine. It's light, secure, and can be accessed from anywhere, even bad dial-up. It leaves no remains on the computer I access it from.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.

Geez. Haven't used Pine in years
Mozilla 1.5 Mail client at the moment, for no particularly good reason...

Opera M2 (the new mail client that came with Opera 7), because of its security and unique handling of mails (it's a database system, rather than folder based, and it's actually quite logical if you can get the "email=folder" thing out of your head. But it's really a matter of taste, people either hate it, loathe it, or just can't do anything with it.).

Outlook. Only because its all I have available to me at work.
When I was in college I was stuck with Eudora. Back then I preferred Netscape's email client that came with NS 4.x Now I have no perfect web client as most of my email accounts are web based (Yahoo/MSN/Comcrap). That allows me to access it anywhere.
Ahhh, the good ole days of PINE. I still use it on occasion to check my work email remotely. Quick & easy.Go Bunny GO!

Outlook 2003 is a marked improvement over the previous versions and I like it quite a lot...it also features great compatibility with Hotmail accounts. So for who says Outlook is bad, try this latest one and then we'll talk

Netscape 6, but intending to switch to Mozilla (haven't voted yet). But both are so similar...
Occasionally, I use pine, or IMP (webmail application).
I just prefer to avoid Outlook/Outlook Express for a number of reasons (security being one of them).

Mozilla in the default mailer at work, and I use it a home.
The spam and popup features are very good.
