Firefox for me. I prefer the no-nonsense approach and easy customizing. Opera is also sweeet.
MSIE blew it up a long time ago, no love from me anymore. Dump ActiveX, and I'll consider it.

You can set your account to automatically compact folders every once in a while.

I am using OE right now for this one particular email because it is webmail based...I dont get spam in it and I have configured IMAP so things are working great. I love that OE is so quick to start up and that it does not use that much memory as does TB. Also the bugs in TB that bloat up on the hard drive are rather annoying. I hope they fix it soon so I can switch and strip out OE in my next nLite install.
You just have to Compact Folders every once in a while. Annoying, I know. I still prefer Thunderbird because of the SPAM filters. The "Junk Mail" filters from Hotmail still let through an awful lot, but TB filters them out easily. In outlook express I was obliged to download all that hotmail spam before I could delete it.

It's more annoying it deletes POP mail now and then from the server.

Announcement: http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=7892"The final release of Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5 is now available for download from getthunderbird.com. Users of RC1 should see the update soon. If you are using RC2, then you already have 1.5 final."
Amazingly, it still has a lot of bugs for me...
Although it's still my favorite mail client, it indeed has a lot of bugs. However, these bugs were also present in 1.0 and before. What frightens me is that Mozilla, instead of maked TB more user-friendly (compact folders shouldn't be necessary, nor should the s***load of menu items, nor the annoying Account Details window which has been around since the days of Mozilla M1) they're adding more bloat and not fixing annoying bugs.

I can't believe how much this sucks.

Wickedly cool, my Yahoo! address is about 8/9 years old and I really dislike the alias I'd had picked.

OSLO, NORWAY– Amidst mounting speculation of an all-out bidding war between Microsoft, Google and the Korean bakery down on 3rd, Opera Software announced today that it inadvertently purchased itself in a $0 million recursive merger set to complete on Monday.
“I’m as surprised as everyone else,” said Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner. “I read the news on http://www.geocities.com/~MiltonsTechWorld192/index.html when I woke up this morning.”
“Buying Opera is very Web 2.0,” said Milton, who was studying for a social studies test and could only comment briefly. “It’s like tagging. More companies should try it.”
Analysts value the deal at 42 liters of hot air, the estimated net worth of the blogosphere’s journalistic abilities.

EDIT: I wonder if this is using the WEB2.0 engine?
Lol, first look up what Web 2.0 is before wondering if it uses a non-existant engine.

Apple is doing the same thing with the iPod+iTunes. Did you know that iTunes converts all your files to AAC when transferring them to an iPod? It's a format that's not reckognized by Windows Media Player in any case...
Who says I like iTunes? Here's what I typed some weeks ago:
Just for the hell of it, I don't use:- WMP (fails to recognise some video codecs, asks for a license now and then while BSplayer plays the file nice, it only supports MP3 and WAV for audio, a badly designed and un-userfriendly GUI with lots of bling bling I don't need, doesn't support my iPod)
- iTunes (beats WMP by a landslide when it comes to crapiness. I still can't believe that a program with as the most advanced feature one visualization, still takes a whopping 40~70megs in memory and makes my laptop fan go "whoosh". It also takes ages to load an iPod, even when iTunes is the official application. Sometimes it complains about my iPod being used on another accounts, but when I open Winamp I see all files immediatly. Same goes for reporting so-called "broken files", when there aren't any. It only plays MP3, WAV and AAC and keeps asking to convert my WMA files, even when I click no. It refuses to play OGG and FLAC. Keeps asking my to update to a vague version. Version numbering sucks too, the crappy video support deserved a 6.0 release? Man, this is almost a rant. Here's a summary: iTunes is the worst app I used in years, nah.) Or it's my computer who doesn' t like it.
Makes me sound like a nag.

Winamp -> Music (WiMP doesn't support formats like OGG, the library needs some work and the interface is unintuitive)
BSplayer -> Video (WiMP has major problems dealing with dual screen; has crappy subtitle support)
EAC -> Ripping (WiMP only supports WMA -which is _really_ crappy and non-LAME MP3, the ripping itself isn't as accurate as EAC and doesn't get by Copy Control, the taggin is also unintuitive).
While it also has some good points, WiMP still has a lot of problems which need to be fixed, and MS better should pay attention to those instead of the GUI.

Alpha = non-feature complete
Bèta = feature complete
RC = should be final, if bugs are found, a new RC is made. When no bugs are found, it goes final.

RC != Final Version
It should, but it probably won't.

Only FrontPage? Then you should follow the "tutorial" I posted above, it should work normally.

Nyeh... I'm still running Deer Park Alpha 2 (a.k.a FF 1.60a)
The webpage that firefox lives though is pretty **** cool
FF1.6a is the pre-alpha version of 2.0. You're running ahead.

It's not out yet. Note that this release will be released under Mozilla Corporation, so 1.5 ain't live until http://www.mozilla.com is.
Also, if you're running RC3, no need to upgrade, it's the exact same build. The FTP's you're linking to have been around for some time, and the pages you're linking haven't even been updated.
My $0.02. If I wanted, I declared an official 1.5 a week ago.

I just don't find it intuitive. In fact, why do they keep changing its UI? I once moved a shortcut and my parents freaked out.

That bubblegum may be ugly, but it was useful for beginning users. Now it's not functional at all. They especially managed to screw up WiMP. Oh well, it's still a beta.

Yeah, my parents always go straight to the options. *sigh*
If there's one thing to complain about Google for, it's their stance in China or the low-quality releases of stuff like Google Video and the plain crap Google Pack, but noooo, Google releases something that'll cache a text-only version of word-and-access-documents-only as an optional feature off by default, and bam, the crowd goes wild.
