I use Outlook 2003, all I need is in there. mails, Contacts, Notes, well, calender & tasks is quite useless for me, but I cannot stop it from being installed

as for slim client, Thunderbird as it is available for Linux too

I like Sylpheed ... especially because of its superfast lightness, and its ability to thread messages (like the bat!).

Sylpheed-claws is available for windows too ... its an extended version of sylpheed, supporting HTML, and some other extra features.

BTW, thunderbird is not light :( ... I have tried TheBat, Eudora, OE, Sylpheed and many others, and thunderbird was slower than them all.

Mozilla's inbuilt mail clien is a little better though ...

No choices for GNU/Linux users :(

Anyway, Outlook Express for Windows and Evolution for GNU/Linux :)

Mutt 1.5.3i is the best email client.. you should include that also.

pine users click here and migrate to mutt.

Personally, I favor Outlook 2003 on Windows and Evolution on Linux. Functionality first for me! I am totally willing to trade speed and lightness for functionality. Yet to see any other program offer the functionality these two deliver with a lighter disk/memory footprint.

Been using The Bat! for quite some time now. Very good client. If you haven't tried it yet, it's about time you did.
