I use Windows Eudora 5.1 in Sponsored Mode (which means I don't pay money but it shows me advertisements). I also use Pine and Elm and nmh and mutt, but those programs have the characteristic that if you are tech-savvy enough to use them, you will already know about them. I get 2500 email messages a day, and I have more than 10 million saved email messages. I use a 300MHz Pentium III machine (Compaq 5100) to read mail. I don't find that Eudora 5.1 is slow or paralytic. In IMAP mode there are some ways that it can be misconfigured, but in POP mode it just works out of the box. The rest of my family use Mulberry from Cyrusoft. I set it up for them and they love it. I am toying with the idea of switching to it. See http://www.cyrusoft.com/mulberry/
