Eudora

If you use Microsoft Outlook for email, you should probably look into some of the alternatives. Because most people use Outlook, it is quite often attacked and has a reputation for security flaws. Other clients also have some more/better features. One popular client is Eudora, which currently is free with either limited features or advertisements but is going open source.  Hopefully  the new open source version will continue to support the old mailbox files, since it is apparently a complete rewrite based on the Thunderbird codebase. Thunderbird its self is a good client with a number of available plugins and good built in spam filtering.

If you are a current Eudora user, Wired has some further commentary and Qualcomm has an official announcement on their site.
