Thunderbird -- Best E-Mail Tool Available
Thunderbird is the best e-mail tool for private use and also one of the best for business use. And it is freely available as open-source software.

what a nice surprise
I had been using MS outlook for years, until MS tried to get me to pay for a patch that fixed one of their bugs. Installing Thunderbird was a breeze. It picked up all my account settings, contacts, folders and old emails flawlessly. It was then very intuitive and easy to use, so I was up and running in no time. Thunderbird offers all the features of outlook, and is actually better at dealing with HTML. I liked the way attached photos are directly shown at the bottom of an email, instead of having to open an image viewer. The only small drawback was that I had to download and install a separate extension, called Lighnting, for the calendar features. Altogether, a great product - and you can't beat the price!

Functional
It's ui structure is similar to outlook express, and that makes it easy to migrate, and of course it has no problems importing contacts from outlook. One cool feature is the build in anti spam system, which is easy to use and very powerful. Other features include: - filters, tags, views - a RSS fead reader - flexible plugin system Overall a good software, though it can be improved.

Thunderbird blows away Outlook and any other email program I have tried.
