Thunderbird. Please.
I can't stand Outlook Express. I grew up used to Netscape's e-mail client, and I absolutely hate Outlook Express's newsreader and how it has a Send/Recieve button. Opera's e-mail client sucks because it can't do SMTP authentication, and Opera's newsreader sucks because, well, it just does
Post a nightly build. Something. Anything

email client alternative
I too am tired of Outlook Express which does poorly in word wrapping the original message for a reply or forwarded message. Hope that Thunderbird or Minotaur come soon. For now, my solution is to use Mozilla 1.1 with the spell checker also downloaded. The spell checker does not work with Mozilla 1.2 (a or b). Mozilla 1.2b also seemed slightly sluggish when composing. There was a just noticeable lag between the keystroke and the appearance of the letter. Mozilla 1.1 seems fine, but it is odd to have to have most of the suite just to have an email program. My browser preference is definitely to Phoenix over Moz 1.1. Another vote for Thnderbird.

While you are waiting for Thunderbird, check out another mythological flying critter: Pegasus.

I also use Pegasus. It is a very good full-featured windows email client and I encourage people who are disappointed with Microsoft Outlook/Outlook Express to try it. However, be forewarned it has a cryptic interface that takes some getting used to - and this is why I will be keen to see the Thunderbird email client when it is released. Also note that Pegasus is more of an email-only client and the addressbook is pretty weak. That is why I use Time and Chaos by Isbister as the addressbook (nearly perfect - photos for entries could be handled bettter) to tie in to Pegasus and it works pretty well
