I've been testing a few recently. Postbox was one of the better ones but working with it over a few weeks it seemed quite slow, similar to Outlook Express but not as sleek.

Thunderbird is good but I always seem to have a heck of a job setting up email accounts so I gave up on that. I'm running with Outlook again now, I find it a little slow and way over the top for what I need.....might go back to Outlook Express, does what I need and always nice and quick.

I've also looked at backup solutions for emails if you want info. on that.

Always interested in looking at alternative solutions to software, hence my playing with Linux.... especially like these free clients! lol.
