Email Client Question

Anyone know of a good replacement for Outlook? I receive about 300 mails a day, most of which have large attachments. Outlook crashes regularly and it's starting to melt my head... Any suggestions on a replacement much appreciated....

A lot of people use outlook with few problems.
Are you using exchange or POP3?
What speed connection have you to the mail? Dialup or Broadband and finally what incarnation of outlook are you using?
Express? Outlook 2003,2000 etc.
I have heard Thunderbird is a decent replacement but it may not solve all your problems.

Thanks Sean - just downloaded Thunderbird to another PC to see what it's like.

Kippy - Am using POP3, with 4mb up and down, Outlook 2003 and it has all the service packs installed. There's been no software added or removed lately.

Thunderbird disappoints IMHO.
Alternatives: Eudora or Pegasus.
