Okay, so I’m kind of fed up with my Outlook and Outlook Express. Outlook keeps crashing on me, and OE doesn’t exactly have the features I’m looking for. While I do use my web-accessible Gmail account, I’d like to have some software on my laptop to use. I’ve not used any other software packages for a few years, so I’m not sure what the best stuff is out there right now… Any suggestions? Feel free to comment on this post or email me here or here.
Also - I’ve been informed that Google doesn’t want anyone “bartering” for Gmail accounts, so I wasn’t able to offer one up the other day after my request for a site suggestion. Alice Marshall from TechnoFlak had suggested that I get it put to good use by a miltary serviceperson, but I haven’t been able to hook up with anyone else who knows how to do so, unfortunately. Alice had made the suggestion, but didn’t want the invite in return, obviously. But she still gets props for having the best idea.

Why not give Thunderbird a shot … it’s free and can do POP and IMAP as well as includes as nice Junk filter.
There’s also Bloomba, which is not free but is supposed to have very strong search based features.

Hiya, I definitely second the Thunderbird suggestion. I am an avid user and love the software’s customizability, expandability, effective search features, a learning SPAM filter and many other conveniences.

Definitely try Bloomba from Stata Labs. It has all the advantages of Gmail in respect to fast search, but it’s a desktop client like Outlook. I’ve been using it for several months now.
