I was using Outlook Express, but I've begun to use Outlook 2000 since it came with Office 2000.

I was going to give Pegasus Mail a shot, but the program did not have an import utility for converting all my old saved emails.

Thunderbird. Which I reckon falls under mozilla. Much better and faster than outlook. To me anyway. And it ain't ms. :d

T-bird also. I like the fact that its a "pure" email client, not contact mgmt, scheduler, todo list, etc,etc,etc...

That is what I like about Outlook.

I sync my sidekick and my other cell with outlook. So I do not edit any contacts on the phones, much easier in outlook

Once of the other nice features of Outlook (not express) is it stores all the info in one single file that is easy to backup (outlook.pst) in your documents folder, local settings, application data, microsoft. I hate the way Outlook Express stores it's info.

only reason i still use outlook express is because it works with hotmail.

ditto on what was mentioned above. MS has a grandfather rule; if you have a hotmail account used with OE before a certain date(around 18 months ago or so), you can still use it without them charging you.
