I've tried a bunch of different mail clients (linux ones) and am 
happiest with mozilla

Mike - if you have any pointer for hacking the prefs they would be much 
appreciated - I'd particularly like to get rid of the alert that happens 
every time mozilla fails to connect (I usually leave my machine up and 
popping/filtering/forwarding but once I get an alert it stops till I 
come home and click OK)

I realise this is going back to Linux but..

I found Mutt amazingly powerful but found browsing folders and periodic 
mail organising to be frustrating.

Kmail is great for many things (esp sig checking) but last I looked 
didn't have imap filters

Evolution is too much like outlook for my tastes

Balsa just never seemed to work

Mozilla is my favorite browser and opening the mail client as well 
doesn't seem to create as much overhead as using kmail and mozilla

Now if mozilla just had gpg support ...

Sean :)


PS I think Eudora is bloatware these days - can you still get old versions ?
