[BNM] Mac mail clients for IMAP

Entourage was serving me well enough for POP mail, but I recently migrated
onto an IMAP mail server, and since then I¹ve been having hell with messages
which I delete and then keep coming back, etc. I think it¹s an Entourage
problem. It deletes them from the folder (usually my BNM filter folder) and
they vanish, then I click on Trash and it updates the messages, and none of
them are there. When I go back to the BNM folder, everything¹s back in
there. Rinse, repeat, et cetara...

Also, I am set to Verdana size 9 for my font. I saw one of my emails in
someone elses client yesterday, and it was enlarged that it looked like it
was targetted at a one eyed granny with a scorching case of Retinitis
Pigmentosa. This seems to be a new Œfeature¹ of Office 2008. ³Ensure no-one
missed your emails!²

So, my question is, what¹s better? First person to say Thunderbird gets a
hot poker up their sendmail interface, if y¹know what I mean. Ditto Apple
Mail. Sorry ­ want one that sends to PCs too!

Consider this a massive non-endorsement of Office: Mac 2008 as well. :)

Happy Friday!
