    I have three emails- school, isp and my small business. I use MS Outlook 2003. Clicking one button to check all three is so much easier than opening web pages and loging in. Surely this saves alot of time!

    I prefer to check all of my email in one easy place, and then it can Sync with my handheld/phone, so I use outlook 2007. Its not perfect, but its better than using multiple web based clients.

    Outlook FTW. Being able to see other people's calanders to setup meetings is a timesaver.

    I use Mozilla Thunderbird, I find it easier with the application Lightning, and they organized the emails in a way that I like. I used Outlook 2007 before, but I got confused when I linked two emails, because I couldn't figure out which email is for which email address, unless I open it. -.-

    I like outlook express, I poped forwared my school mail to my gmail and popped my gmail to outlook, so outlook gets all my email and presents it to me in 1 place.. plus its so easy and quick, just startup outlook express no loging into IE and entering passwords or anything.

    If I did find a program that could magically connect to both Gmail and Yahoo Mail, there'd be the problem of mingling the two accounts together. Gmail loads near instantly now.

    Well with Gmail you can forward mail to another email address, however Yahoo! requires you to upgrade to their Plus mail service in order to forward mail to another email address or have POP3 forwarding.

    Email clients are nice. Keeps me connected. Otherwise I forget to check my email which in turn makes me miss the email reminders to pay my bills ;).

    I use Thunderbird, but I'm having trouble finding a stable syncing plugin for it, so I may be reduced to Outlook soon.

    I use Outlook here at work for the Exchange server. Personal use I use Gmail's web client and Thunderbird for my Yahoo! and person domain e-mails.
