The Bat! though i probably would have found Outlook Express enough ... hMailServer as mail server on my dedicated server (reluctant to give up control completely to Google)

For work, used to use Thunderbird 2 and loved it, upgraded to Thunderbird 3 and it sucks.
Gmail for personal.
Outlook Express was the devil, Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet.

SeaMonkey. No need to use two separate programs for Web Browsing and E-Mail ;)

Opera ;) A lot of the people in the astronomy (and presumably physics) department at my university use PINE. I'm still a bit timid about terminals though...

Thunderbird 2.0.0.x, at work and at home. Before that it was Eudora.

I hate to admit it, but Gmail really has taken over for me. Before that I used Outlook, so I could sync it to my Palm Pilot (in the pre-wireless days). I have to use Outlook at work, too.

Windows Live Mail here.
I'd like to use Thunderbird, unfortunately, the authors have different views of what base feature a mail program should have. My main gripes since prior to 1.0:

Decoupling of POP/IMAP and SMTP Accounts. Nowadays, with SMTP Auth, even if you have different accounts on the same mail server, when you want to send an email from user1@mydomain you have to use the SMTP server configured with the authentication of user1, and when you send an email from user2@mydomain you have to use the SMTP server configured with the authentication of user2. Thunderbird's decoupling makes setting this up a lot harder than it needs be (especially when the POP/IMAP account also uses authentication and the same credentials). The way it is, even with the Outlook Express Import, it's a major PITA to even get things working once.
Number two gripe is the lack of an outbox. For the occasionally connected mobile worker, and outbox is a must... press send and the next time your computer is online and mail is running the mail is being sent. No send later & plugins can duplicate this functionality to my satisfaction, and it's a functionality that's been around since the first email software I've used (don't even recall the name but it was at a time when Internet Explorer didn't even exist).
Other than that, TB just doesn't look as polished as FF.

Looking around in the TB support forum I find that I'm by far the only person to feel like that.
