Thunderbird is quite stable, but also quite memory hungry, and rather sluggish.

If you're looking for a Windows mail client, Pegasus is still the king even though there are a bunch of Outlook zealots about.

The latest Opera mail client is also kickass but I haven't managed to convince myself to use it since it would only be for work, and I'm thoroughly addicted to KMail at home due to the superior integration aspect.

I use Outlook Express at the moment. The other day it decided some of my .dbx files of mail folders are corrupt and it won't read them. Now, I can extract all the mail from them, that's not really a problem (just a huge pain in the ass).

I'm just interested in what else is out there. Because I like Firefox I decided to have a look at Thunderbird. It has a similar layout to OE, so that was good, but if it's bloated and memory chomping, I'll steer clear.

Thanks for the other suggestions though.

I have never heard of KMail - but I am curious to what it is? :)

Oh, it's just the KDE default mail client. Since I use KDE it makes sense to use KMail too because I get the integration for free. I heard at some point that somebody was porting it to Windows though, so there is hope there yet.
