Good suggestion - it's well-regarded. So is Ximian Evolution, which is 
also Linux-only, for now, but a Windows port might go down very well. 
It's GNOME and GTK based, and the GTK stuff already exists on Windows, 
so it's part-way there...

For my money, on Windows, Mozilla Thunderbird is the best thing going, 
but there's also real Mozilla, Pegasus and Eudora if you don't want to 
pay - plus things like PocoMail and the blindingly-fast Calypso. If you 
don't mind paying a bit, the full Eudora 6 has spam filtering and so 
forth, plus The Bat! is /extremely/ well-regarded.

If you've read the accounts of Google G-Mail's lack of folders and 
replacement with smart filtering on multiple parameters, then you might 
like Opera's M2 mail client, which works in a broadly similar way. Opera 
7.5 is new out and has a radically revamped UI, by all accounts.

Freya! Still alive and with us, then? Hope you're well!
