email clients -- they all suck

Am I the only one in the world who despises Outlook?  Just about every developer I know of uses it, and I hate it.

The only other viable option that I saw was Thunderbird, and I likedit for the most part.  Sure, it doesn’t have a calendar or tasklist, but most people don’t use those features anyway.

I am going to have to put away Thunderbird for good, as it likes torandomly reject my SMTP settings for no reason.  It will work fineone day, and refuse to send mail the next.  Outlook hasn’t evercomplained about the settings so… 

Anyone else share my sentiments about outlook?  What other solid email clients are out there that are worth looking at?

yeah I use gmail for personal mail, but for the office I need to use my work email account.
