Microsoft Windows
Mozilla Thunderbird (free)
From the same developers behind the Firefox web browser, Mozilla Thunderbird is a lightweight, easy-to-use basic email program with built-in spam filtering, great IMAP mail support, and powerful searching and sorting that makes it easy to find your messages. Thunderbird's main draw is its powerful library of extensions; if there's a feature you want that Thunderbird doesn't have, there's a good chance that someone has already written an extension to take care of it.
