I haven't read all the posts on this topic, so excuse me if this has been
mentioned earlier.
Regarding e-mail clients, I've stuck with Eudora for what seems like forever and
just LOVE its versatility, features, etc.
While there were three levels -- free, sponsored (with small adverts placed
along the lower left corner) and paid modes -- while it was owned and
distributed by Qualcomm, the paid mode of Eudora is now freely available -- no
strings attached. Qualcomm apparently decided to let it go and it's doing VERY
well.
There's a great e-mail list operated by Katrina Knight who seems to be a
walking-talking dictionary of the program, down to even its internal programming
nuts and bolts. Her blog is at http://kknightcomputers.dreamwidth.org/
At home, I have Eudora set up with several e-mail addresses (different ones for
work, casual, etc), several different signatures and am able to download and
upload from/to several different e-mail lists, etc.
I have a series of mail boxes with subfolders set up for organizing things, and
even use filters to distribute incoming (or existing) e-mails into those mail
boxes/subfolders. For instance, I can download from/upload to my bellsouth.net,
gmail.com and alpo-astronomy.org accounts just fine.
You want spam control? That's built in, too. And there's lots more, too.
The thing is, though, that Thunderbird is really Eudora but with a new name and
not all the features.

I am now switching over to the Thunderbird client to read my Gmail. Wish me
luck.
