We have been tring to standardize on Mozilla mail at our office on 
Windows machines as well as linux.  We are using IMAP and I personnaly 
have it setup to grab some POP accounts.  It does handle leaving the POP 
mail on the server well , no redundant messages like other clients 
sometimes do.  One complaint I have is there is no plugin for spell 
check.  just a small complaint I have.  
Also, I have had trouble connecting to our IMAP server from remote 
locations using Mozilla, could be an SSL issue with our mail server or 
maybe a Mozilla problem.  

By the way mozilla mail looks and acts exactly like Netscrape mail
