I've been using Thunderbird for about 2 years and find it great the spam filer is the best I have used.
However, I now have a Windows 2003 Small Business Server, which has MS exchange server, MS sharepoint, Outlook web edition, remote workplace, etc, which Outlook integrates with to share contacts, calendars, and work remotely, so Thunderbird will have to regratefully be retired.

Yes sadly, there are not too many 3rd party email clients that can do what outlook does all in one and to talk to exchange, which I use all the time. I believe there is something in Linux that comes close but as of yet there is apparently no Windows port of it . Its called Evolution.

i tried thunderbird, and i did really like it i however would like a better intergated calendar instead of usin an extention. i also would like to sync with my pda and mobile which only sync with outlook and like borg said - the anti-spam rocked, does outlook even HAVE antispam?  anyone know any decent solutions to get rid of spam? also, i could easily live without my mobile, and my pda, and my computer (though it'd be hard) but my mp3 player NEVER! (i gotta zen xtra 40gb)

Scotty, I use a product called SpamBully for Outlook and Express. It seems to do a pretty good job. Has a spam folder and and UNSURE folder, for messages it does not know about. There is also the option to add a Bounce button to manually bounce emails back to the sender.. It seems to work well.
The site for spambully is www.spambully.com

If you use outlook/outlook express with exchange or imap, make sure your anti-spam supports them. A lot of them only support pop3.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

I use Thunderbird and like it. At the office, I use Outlook, and I  ing hate that piece of ! Outlook is the slowest ing piece of on the ing planet. I can't ing express just how much I ing loathe using that ware. I had to wait over 5 ing minutes to change folders today! Un- ing-real! Ok... rant over... My patience threshold doesn't extend past about 1 second with email clients... Thunderbird works and that's important to me. I don't need to wait for things. Ah... and thank-you Borg for that nice *censored* smiley  ~! I really needed that~!
