Thunderbird
Submitted by Nick Ipe Mathew on Fri, 2007-05-04 19:53.
Vote!The best Open-Source alternative to Outlook Express is Thunderbird. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/
There is also a new project called Chandler. Be warned, it is still in beta. http://chandler.osafoundation.org
More resources can be found at OSS Watch. http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk/resources/emailclients.xml
Chandler
Submitted by Anthony Taylor on Wed, 2007-05-09 11:54.
Vote!Chandler isn't really that new. It's first code release was four years or so ago. And, the email portion doesn't work yet. The calendaring system is pretty nice, but they're still fleshing out exactly what they want Chandler to be.
So far, Thunderbird, or Evolution, or Kontact provide the best options. Thunderbird is by far the best pure email client, but since Sunbird isn't really ready yet, there's no great calendaring option for Thunderbird.
Outlook Express != Outlook
Submitted by Ryan Cartwright on Wed, 2007-09-26 12:14.
Vote!As the OP was regarding Outlook Express I think calendaring may be a little bit distracting :o). I also think Chandler, Evolution and Kontact ( full blown PIMs) may be over the top. Kmail ( the mail component of Kontact ) can be run separately.
Thunderbird/Icedove seems to have become a de-facto standard these days. Claws Mail ( http://www.claws-mail.org ) is another alternative. I've not used it but it seems quite stable and in theory ticks all the boxes.
Evolution

Vote!Evolution is a very good alternative, especially if you use Linux and GNOME. It supposedly runs on Windows, but I don't know how well.

In case you want to run it on Windows:

Thanksyou very much

claws-mail
Submitted by skypjack on Thu, 2007-07-19 13:16.
Vote!A good light alternative to Outlook is claws-mail. His size is approximately 2 MB, so it is lighter in comparison with Thunderbird (30 MB) and it's very good!
Of course, Thunderbird has extra functionality that you'll not find in claws-mail, however if you don't require these it's a good choice!
I'm using claws-mail without problems since one year ago.
