I love Outlook Express.  I've had much less problems that with Netscape
Communicator and the mail filtering is much better.  However, since it's a
beta, I can't recommend it to be used as a production client.  I currently
use Eudora, which is POP3 based and promises to move to IMAP in December.

Once Outlook Express comes out in final form, I'll be using that from home
and Eudora 4 at work.
