Suggestions for Email Client?

[SkyHog]

Ok, so now that I am trying to be Microsoft Independant for a little while - does anyone have a suggestion for an email client that is as powerful (or more) as Microsoft Outlook?

I'm thinking Eudora...pros/cons?

I hear Mozilla Thunderbird is great, but lacks calendar and task options like Outlook has. I'd switch to Mozilla, but I'm comfortable with Outlook and definitely need the calendar.

Nick, have you ever looked at Linux?
Ubuntu is a newer development from the debian line of linux, very easy to install, and unlike most linux distrobutions, i have no problems with it finding and configuring my hardware...you should give it a look at.

I will definitely suggest that you use Thunderbird over Eudora; it has been very useful, and seamless for me, and I have been using it for about a year.

On the other hand, I have had substantial difficulties with Eudora, and I have always found it to be obtusel designed in its user interface.

YMMV.

Nah, I have given myself over to the Dark Lord. MS Office & Outlook.

I've gotta ask... What operating system are you using?

I used to use Eudora and liked it, until Apple came along with Mail.app on OS X.

I'd suggest, if you can, setting up a "dummy" POP account somewhere and trying out the various suggestions. There are quite a few good email clients out there, but the one that's best for you really just depends on which user interface you're most comfortable with.

If you're just looking for email capability I'd go with Thunderbird. I've been using it at home for a few months a really like it. It's very similar to outlook express and its free.

I started using Thunderbird. I figure its a Mozilla product, and since I've ditched IE for Firefox, it makes sense.

But with the beauty of extensions, you can add a calendar to Thunderbird:

I know it's not a "client" as in "a desktop app", but I like Gmail so well I finally removed Outlook....

I've been using Thunderbird and like it. It does some filtering of
junk and learns what you don't like as you identify it.
