your favorite non-ms email client?

I don't mean to interrupt your thread but , I have heard of Phoenix browser, andwhat makes it the better choice over IE or another browswer?

I use the email client called M2 from the Opera 7.10 web browser.

I use Imap and Pop3 on the M2 email client.

Size, speed, security and it's price.

Try i.scribe or pimmy or Foxmail. I've been testing out Foxmail last couple days. It's nice. It's got it's own Hotmail Proxy so you can download you hotmail with it too.

I've been using Qualcomm Eudora since about 1995, and for awhile I had really complicated mail setups with multiple nicknames, mailing lists and lots of custom spam filters. These days I barely use email but I'm still with Eudora. It's a real staple of my software tools. You can download it free from Qualcomm's site. I don't know anything about Pheonix but as far as email I think Eudora is one of the big boys

There is no "phoenix" browser ... it is now "firebird".

I use phoenix, I like it because:
-tabs are awesome (and crazybrowser, an IE extension that gives it tabs isn't as nice).
-its faster at rendering html
-it follows standards
-no popups (built in blocking)
-skinnable
-plugins/extensions
-easy to manage preferences
-has more advanced preferences that you can set without h4x0r1ng the registry
-you can change the size of all text, great for reading things from far away / screens with really high resolutions
-multi platform (same browser in linux / windows / macos (never used it in macos))
-constant development

reasons I don't like it:
-it takes longer to start
-some builds are awesome & uber-stable, others have serious crash causing bugs
-people don't care about html, javascript, ... standards
-some pages just don't work (launch.com didn't work for me a while back, not sure about now)
-plugins can be tricky to install / there is no automatic plugin installer like IE

sorry about the digression from the topic, now for mail:

I use thunderbird at the moment - it is based on mozilla mail, but doesn't rely on mozill abeing your web browser - they are pretty much doing to mozilla mail what phoenix did to mozilla.

As it is based on a totally working mail client, it is stable, and it has a lot of features. It hasn't done anything really annoying, or phenomonally spectacular for me. Hasn't crashed yet.

I've heard that the junk mail filter is phenomonal too.
