Evolution.(Ubuntu Linux :) ) Otherwise. Gmail.
Well... probably not the Best (technically), but certainly one that Most people are able to use and therefore giving you a broad range of options and inter-activity is Outlook 2003.
We use it at work in a very large international company and global address lists, calendars etc are very useful and effective tools. Thus I chose to use the same at home - no need to learn two apps.

Outlook has the reputation of being the best. My friends who are still working swear by it. It is expensive and too much software for me.
For personal use, having tried Poco Mail, Eudora, Outlook Express and Pegasus I always end up coming back to Thunderbird. It is free and has sufficient features for private use - no mail lists or bulk mail sending.
I agree that in a business environment, Outlook is tough to beat. But at home, I wanted something smaller, simpler. I tried several programs and ended up with Thunderbird.
It's similar to Outlook Express, so it's easy to switch and begin using T-Bird. One big advantage T-Bird brings is a superior spam filter. After a few days of training, it works amazing well...
Yep - Outlook does not come with a SpamFilter.
I installed SpamBayes (a reco from VDr) - works excellent for me :)
Was orginaly Netscape went to Thunderbird been their ever since and Like it. I did go see what version of outlook was on pc and it was 2002 I have never ran outlook or outlook express on one of my own machines Was wondering if 2002 was near or close to good email program as 2003 that some in here seem to like?
Anything from Outlook 2000 on is a good version IMO.
If you guys haven't tried Outlook 2007... Don't waste your time. It's terrible. They've noobed up the interface so it's completely different. I really hate it.
I agree that Outlook 2003 was the best, and I really quite enjoyed it. But regardless of what version of Outlook you talk about, they're all bloatware. I really hate the additional features. I never use them!
I am currently using Thunderbird (as of today) and I really like it. It's simple, and gets the job done.
In the Business Win2k3 AD server enviroment Outlook 2003.
One of my contracts use Lotus Notes.. secure, and so long as the server is happy as stable as a brick, clunky as hell and a pain in the.....
At home Gmail, Thunderbird.. and just installed SeaMonkey to give it a blast
Opera :). Catch is that you have to have the browser too as the email client is built in.

Small, fast and extremely configurable. Also very secure.
Thunderbird.
