I really need an > offline mail client. I get 200-300 emails per weekday, and Gmail handles them with aplomb. I have over 300 labels (it's now, finally, possible to nest them). (Tip: use [(From:address) OR (From:me AND ((To: OR Cc:)address))] -- delete the square brackets -- in the "Has the words" textbox when making a filter that will apply to all mail from yourself to: or cc'd to an address OR from an address). Labels can be nested and color coded. Be sure to check out the numerous other features, including the ones on the "Labs" tab. BTW I used Eudora for a decade, and also OE because I had to teach it to my wife. A "feature" very important to me is that with Gmail, my mail is just always THERE, with no need to download it -- and often INSTANTLY there because there are so many other Gmail users. I'll stop my praise of Gmail here because this is an OT of an OT thread :) .
