I've been trying to use Mozilla Mail exclusively, but I'm 
finding some problematic mail (read:spam) can cause it to 
lock up. Moz 1.3 is looking a little better than the 
previous point-releases.

However, here at the University, CIT has adopted an 
IMAP/IMSP/LDAP compliant package named Mulberry 
(http://www.cyrusoft.com). A free demo is available for 
download which doesn't seem too intrusive. Nice thing is: 
when bound with IMSP, you can configure roaming profiles, 
so your users will see the exact same configuration 
wherever they sit (if they move at all). It also can 
utilize several text-to-speech packages for accessibility. 
Multiple OS support too. Decent administrator's kit too.

	The only real downside - it does cost. $40 for single 
license, down to $14/seat per 100. I'd definitely recommend 
at least checking it out.
