Microsoft Outlook 2003 that is part of Office 2003 (not the free Outlook Express) is a very decent Unicode-compliant e-mail application, that also includes a powerful organizer, PIM etc. The entire Office 2003 is simply an excellent example of Unicode implementation: very complete, very exhaustive, very reliable. It not only supports rendering of Unicode characters, but also properly handles bi-directionality and has very good support for complex scripts such as Arabic or Devanagari, using OpenType Layout.

The inexpensive add-in Microsoft Proofing Tools for Office 2003 (http://www.microsoft.com/office/editions/prodinfo/language/proofingtools.mspx ) makes the package even more complete, since you get spellchecking functionality in several dozes of languages as well as additional fonts.
