Well, if they're stuck on MacOS 9.x then I doubly recommend MacSOUP with
Eudora light kept around for the odd time you might need to send an
attachment.

Still, if you've any iMac - even a tray-loading Rev a (so long as you
add at least 128MB RAM to it's base 32 and install a 80GB or larger fast
HD) Panther - 10.3.x - will run very nicely. The important thing is RAM
- max it out and you'll get acceptable speed. If you're having to use
virtual memory a lot on such an old mac under X it will likely be
unacceptably slow for you.
But if you max out RAM and HD space you will have a nice little machine
that will run any OSX email program and more.

Note there are processor upgrades for certain iMacs (take a look at
<http://www.lowendmac.com/> for details) but it's a close run thing as
to wether it's worth the cost. In many cases you'll be able to buy a
secondhand faster iMac or eMac for the same amount, so shop around.
Still - if you can get a processor upgrade off Ebay you might be able to
do it on the cheap, but Panther will run just fine, though a tad slowly
on any old iMac.
