Eudora. Pegasus. And, my personal favorite, Thunderbird, which is
open-source and can be easily extended with, say, a calendar. None of
these will allow a worm to automatically spread itself through your
address book. Heck, if you wipe MS Office off your hard drive and
replace it with a suite of Thunderbird/Firebird/OpenOffice, you'll have
remarkably little trouble with viruses (aside from deleting those that
come from people who use Outlook - I finally ended up training
SpamAssassin to mark those as spam immediately when they come in).
On the other hand, if your IT department has installed a resource hog
like Exchange, you may be stuck, unfortunately.
And as for those who are stuck using Outlook because of corporate
policy... I'm genuinely sorry, and you have my condolences. :)
But please don't mind me. My animosity towards MS is especially
virulent today since I'm forced to plod my way and write outrageous
scripts in VBA to do something that would have been child's play in
Oracle. Well, maybe not child's play, but a heck of a lot simpler.
