What is your favorite eMail client?
After years of reliable freeware Pegasus, I switched to freeware Thunderbird and never looked back. I use Gmail for the heavy volume like eZines and whatnot, but for security use Thunderbird. What's your fav?

I use both Outlook 2003 at work and at home.
The new Office 2003 is a pretty good all around app suite.
And while I am at work if I want to access my Comcast account, I log into Comcasts email page through any browser.

thunderbird is just straight up better and has nice junk mail controls. and if youre saying "clients", gmail/yahoo arent really client persay, theyre just webmail so i dunno. i'd say that should be a diff category. oh and i use thunderbird for gmail so i have 3 accounts in my thunderbird

The poll isn't particularly useful in that it's comparing different things: e-mail clients and email providers.
I use Outlook Express with Gmail, so you see the contradiction... That said I do like Gmail's web interface. I really only us Outlook so that I have copies of the emails on my computer too.

As drguitarum2005 said, Thunderbird beats them all. I've been running the T-bird for a couple years now and installed 2.0 Beta 2 a couple weeks ago without issue. Add the Lightning calendar Extension to that and it can't be beat.

Yeah, sorry about the client/provider confusion.
Scott, good to hear about T-bird Beta. I avoid Betas, but will at least take a look. Lightning is a great little calendar.

I migrated from Outlook to Tbird a couple years ago and haven't looked back since. I started with Tbird somewhere around v0.9 and have never experienced any troubles. The Lightning extension integrates right into Tbird, so the calendar function is nearly identical to Outlook. Since it integrates, there's no need to run a second app just for a calendar.

I use yahoo for work but T-shirt hell's e-mail hell for everyting else. It's free like most, but you get to choose your own .com from a list. A few examples are:
