Thunderbird is a project of theMozilla foundation, makers of some great free software.  The mainadvantages of this program over similar programs is that it is smaller,faster, more secure and it has better features.  The spell checkfeature works great and it stands alone, so it doesn't have to open MSWord and slow your whole computer down.  Thunderbird iswell-protected against viruses and hackers.  It has powerfull junkmail filters, too.  I really like the way the address book worksbetter that Outlook's contact list.  It makes it a loteasier.  If you use Hotmail, then you'll need something like my #3pick, Hotmail Popper, to check your mail with Thunderbird.
