Could I suggest that you try Eudora (presently at Version 5.1) which you can download from their site at <a href="http://www.qualcomm.com/eudora." target="_blank">http://www.qualcomm.com/eudora.</a>. .. .I've been using it for years - it's got all the bells and whistles that anyone could need. There is a version you pay for, and a free version (which they call a "sponsored" version which puts a small ad on the screen) (changes regularly - some are quite interesting).. .. .There is also a free version of Eudora that I use on my Palm via a cell phone while travelling -- which has freed me from the need to lug a laptop around to keep in touch.
