Alternative E-Mail Clients

So, I've been using outlook 2000 until yesterday, when my OS/Boot hard disk decided to die rather violently in a small puff of smoke.

I'm thinking I'll take a look at Mozilla Thunderbird, but I want to know if any of you use an alternate mail client. Open source is preferable, freeware is absolutely necessary.
 
ummm why do u need a mail client in the first place?
 
Freeware? Not a clue. I use Outlook 2003 at home and work now. I couldn't live without SpamBayes sifting through my @cgalliance.org to eliminate the dreaded spammage.

And is this client for Windows or Linux? POP3 and webmail support or just POP3? Does it need to be able to handle multiple accounts? Do you have to have a BCC (blind carbon copy) field? So many questions...

This might be a good place to start your search, though.

Thunderbird is nice

Firefox browser is great .. NO POPUPS !!!!
Plus it has features IE only wished it had.

Just an old goats a opinion.

Yeah, I think it's going to be thunderbird, as firefox is nothing but sweet browsing pleasure. I'm setting up a spam filter on the same computer that runs the jabber server, that way no spambayes is really needed. Also, in the event of a hard disk crash on my personal computer, the server retains all the spam information.

Thats probably my biggest pet peeve is re-training my spam filter after a hard disk crash.

EDIT: Thunderbird has it's own spambayes-like plugin, I plan on using that from now on. It looks pretty good, although I haven't really had a chance to test it. It sounds like they're using some sort of bayesian filter.
