If you don't have it now, you never will. Outlook Express is no longer
being developed.

Sure it is. It's just changed name to Windows Live mail.

I use pan on windows and Linux. It's
worth a look. The filters seem complex,
but robust.

I used to use Gravity, too, and I liked it, especially when I was still
on a dialup connection. My problem with it was that its database was
fragile and frequently became corrupted.
Now I like Xnews. It's a little tricky to set up but once I got it the
way I like it it works great. Unfortunately, it's semi-deadware, but
the author does occasionally fix a bug or two. Its best feature is it's
strong filtering and scoring ability.

I have used since almost eternity, variants of Netscape Communicator 4.x.
Currently 4.8.
Simple, effective, good presentation. Does the job. No pointless frills.
Does what it says on the tin.
