email client

[LavCat]

I'm thinking of changing email clients. I'm still using Eudora 7.1.0.9 on Windows XP SP3. It still seems to do what I want to do in the way I expect to do it. However, it seems like it is struggling a bit lately and I'm also worried that if I make the change to Windows 7 with a new laptop that it would not migrate well.

Any recommendations? I would really like close to the same look and feel. Importing my Eudora mailboxes is a must. I know there is Eudora 8.0 but what I've read seems to say it is Thunderbird with a new skin so, if people do recommend that, I would probably just check Thunderbird. Any other good ones to look at?

I use Eudora 4.3.2. I have used nothing but Eudora as an email client on my home machines for fifteen years. Why would you want to switch? Eudora is a great product.
