I'd second Thunderbird :))

I know the 'reply list' function isn't great when, as Jam said, you have digest mail list to reply to.

However (and this is strange but works well) in version 2 (something) and the current version 3, if you highlight the e-mail text you want to respond to and the click on 'reply list' or just 'reply' it will present you with a reply e-mail window containing the selected text complete with our little '>' friends starting on each line and the text colour changed (if that's your bag).

Works a treat.

Additionally, while you can use Lightning to access and synch calendars, it's not available for version 3. Instead you can install a 'direct to google calendar' plug in which provides you read/write access to your google calendar directly from Thunderbird (it opens a tab window). This is not accessible without 'net access mind you, which is a limitation if you travel a lot and don't have 'net access all the time.

Regards,

Patrick
