E-Mail clients

#1
Hi All

Not sure this is the right place for this but, what E-Mail clients does everybody use?

Under windows I've used Eudora for years and really like it, however it's crap at anything other than English letters, as in it just wont do them. Now I'm getting into Japanese I'd like to send mails containing Kana and Kanji.

Any suggestions?

I use Thunderbird because of its great spam filter and because you can use rikai-chan with it. That makes reading Japanese e-mails much easier.

I stopped using Eudora with Windows 3.1...

For Windows I recommend Thunderbird as Sequa does. If you ever join the light side (OSX), Apple's default mail client works great in Leopard (it was a bit crashy in Tiger)

I'm using The Bat! 2.12 I like it but I was never able to get the Japanese working. Now that I'm seriously studying again this is bound to be a problem sooner or later.

If Thunderbird has rikai-chan support maybe I should switch. The Bat! used to be better than the others for a lot of things like custom filters, templates and "virtual folders" but that has probably changed over the past few years.

But switching to a new client, importing everything and setting up all the sorting filters again is a lot of work and I'm really lazy...

Have gone with Thunderbird, I tried it a while ago and hated it as it forced you to to have a load of useless folders (drafts, templates, etc) for every account, and as I use about a dozen different accounts, this alone was enough to rule out Thunderbird. Glad to see they have gotten rid of that and I can decide what I do and don't want according to how I want to work. Thanks for the input guys, I wouldn't have given it another go otherwise.
