I've another concern of looking at the mail clients.(from the system manager's view not the user) i.e. storeing the emial files & folders in your harddisk. The Outlook manages it very nicely in a single file ( a popularly known as pst file) Where as most other clients do it in many folders ways ( including outlook express), a seperate folder for inbox, send mail & other. With single file its very easy to store/backup/x'fer all the emails. I'm testing many email clients but so far I've not found this feature in any email client than the MS outlook.
A single file is a disaster in the making. If your disk gets corrupt you will be in a big soup trying to recover your latest mails. Thunderbird stores everything in a single folder (mails, accounts,addresses) so all you need is to copy / paste the folder into the right location. Same with Firefox and its personalised settings and bookmarks. When your account profiles go corrupt, it is the individual folder files that come to your rescue by letting you manually paste them into the new profile you create.
