Email client of choice?

I had no idea which was the most popular Linux email client, and am mildly surprised to find that people are saying it's Thunderbird. I've tried it a few times over the years, and didn't like it one bit, mostly because it seemed to be an Outlook clone (shudders). Back when I was still using Windows, me and my t'other half settled on The Bat, which did the job, no fuss, and that was that. Since moving to Linux, Claws has been my email client of choice. I know I used Eudora for a short while, can;t recall the circumstances , but every time I looked at email clients, Thunderbird was plum last choice every time. Somewhat the way Firefox is getting to be now, as it seems to be getting very slow and buggy both at work (on my Win7 PC) and at home (Linux Mint), often 'freezing' for over ten seconds, whether I've got security measures enbled or not.

Persoally, I think Mozilla have lost the plot. I hope they find it again!
