i use the bat and like it, but it did take some getting use to,

but it is not as powerful as outlook and just does not have the same filtering rules.

and there is no drag and drop in the editor (unless the latest version does this) which can be frustrating.

and the contact management/address book is not that great, although outlook is overpowered for my use

however it is good for managing multiple mail accounts

and it is good for personalised templates for recipients and has a lot of useful built in macros,

if you have a very heavy email load i wouldn't recommend it, but for small business and personal use it is excellent

and so far completely safe from virus (for me anyway)

the latest version has html preview, but i got it originally because i did not want that feature at all.
