I quite liked the version I used at work (2007 or the one after that); 
as a mail handler it's not bad (though better when Outlook-Quotefix 
worked, which it did up to the 2003 version I think), and integrated 
with its calendaring and other functions for a work environment, it's 
good. The way it interferes with quoting (and other) formatting drives 
me nuts, but I live with it. (_Some_ of that is probably the Word stub 
that Mayayana/VanguardLH mentioned.) [It's obsessed with top-posting and 
makes interposting difficult, but most of the world these days _does_ 
top-post and doesn't interpost, so that doesn't bother most of them.]

Outlook Express (with OE-quotefix) was IMO much maligned: I never used 
it myself as an email client, but have seen others do so, and it works 
well enough. I have used it as a news client when we still had news at 
work - in disguise that is; Outlook didn't actually handle news, but 
pretended to, actually calling OE to do so.

My blind friends use Eudora (and before that Pegasus); seems to work 
well enough.

Thunderbird would be my default, I think, if I had to stop using 
Turnpike; it seems well supported (not by Mozilla, but by other users, 
and add-on writers). I gather Mozilla have broken it a bit, and are 
planning to do so more, but older versions are available from Mozilla 
and, for something like mail, should continue to work for some years 
yet.

To be honest, *as mail handlers*, I don't see a lot of difference 
between several of the clients I've used; as long as they have something 
like the three-pane layout, "folders", and an address book, I haven't 
seen _much_ to distinguish them from each other.
