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.
