I never liked The Bat! as much as some friends, tried it for 2 months off and on a while ago then tried other clients instead. Paying for a client is worth it if it does what you need, I payed for both Outlook and Notes (actually I got Notes free as I was an admin ;>)
Now if you mentioned Phoenix, the origin of what would become Firefox, then there might have been no confusion :)

Are you all saying that Firebird won't authenticate? I would find that surprising. My problems with downloading and sending yahoo mail via my mail program almost always involve the rules of the server rather than the mail program. I have just tried two dialups that would download but not permit sending using the yahoo address. My current server permits pop3/smtp receiving and sending via yahoo.
I use TheBat! and believe it has more features than do most mail programs. But it also isn't free, though certainly not a major expense.
I have Firebird on my computer, installed it to see what I thought, I think it's pretty decent, but it lacks a feature I have in TheBat! and which I am unwilling to give up. So TheBat! takes the prize. That feature is not in OE and I assume is not available in Outlook -- redirecting mail using the original sender's address -- Eudora's options for redirecting mail are not quite as clean and neat so I have never considered using Eudora.
I thought the filtering to folders options might have been a bit weak in Firebird but I didn't use the program long enough to give them a fair shake.
