It's a shame that Vista is being crammed down our (Windows users) 
collective throats.  It's just about the same as installing a virus 
willfully on your machine.

For Windows e-mail I strongly recommend Thunderbird.  It's free and 
the spam filters (once trained) are very, very good.  If you gotta 
change e-mail software anyway, cut the MS cord and get something 
really useful - http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/

P.S. If your feeling adventurous, try the Eudora 8.0 beta 
software.  That's the beginnings of the planned merge of Eudora and 
Thunderbird.  You can read more at http://www.eudora.com/betas/

Cheers!
