The answers will depend entirely on what platform one chooses and what requirements one has for e-mail use. Personally I'd suggest Mac OSX and Apple Mail as a first cut for anyone who wants an easy-to-manage and easy-to-use, and half-decent MUA. It doesn't do everything I want to do as a hyper-experienced e-mail user, nor is it apparently easy to write proper extensions for, but it certainly does cover all the main requirements the average user has. Equally I'm sure Thunderbird works well for many people too. > For an integrated email and calendar tool? After all these years I still fail to see what e-mail and calendar keeping have to do with each other. It's lunacy to put them in the same tool. Use the right tool for the job. Yes, doing scheduling and calendar maintenance requires communicating between multiple parties, but e-mail is _not_ the right tool for this kind of communications! Personally I'm still a big fan of centralization wherever it makes sense, and it especially makes sense when the model one is using to design an implement solutions to a given problem requires shared access to unified data. Perhaps Google Apps calendaring is the right tool for some folks. Perhaps Apple OSX iCal works well enough (and for those who insist on using e-mail to communicate calendaring information, well it just so happens that iCal does integrate with your mail reader to send and receive notifications and facilitates some basic ability to "share" events, but of course iCal also supports full management of proper central calendars too, as well as read-only subscriptions to centrally maintained calendars, etc.). Perhaps Mozilla's answers to calendar management would work for many folks too. Mozilla even cater to those who can't seem to separate calendar management from e-mail in their minds with Lightning, but personally I'd stick with Sunbird if I were to use Mozilla's tools. -- Greg A.
