Thunderbird
Thunderbird is a free, open-source and cross-platform mail client for most operating systems including, but not limited to, Windows, Linux and Macintosh.

Thunderbird will not allow a virus or worm to execute automatically. You can see what attachments have been sent to you without a virus being able to execute, and you would have to save a file to your system and deliberately run it before it could cause any harm.

Thunderbird provides nice tools for detecting junk mail. These tools analyze your e-mail and identify those that are most likely to be junk. You can have your junk mail automatically deleted or put in a specific folder

The Bat (Shareware)
Great application for e-mail (similar to Outlook Express)for several years in my Top 10 Magic Shareware. Here's a couple of its many advantages: it is practically immune to the viruses that regularly bug Outlook Express, and we can install it in the partition that we prefer. The day that we change the HD, or computer or whatever, within a few seconds we can copy its folder on a CD so that its configuration, messages etc will remain as it is and we'll be able to import everything on the new HD, pc or whatever.
