I use Windows as little as possible (like once a month for a few minutes),
but when I'm in there, and when I used to have to use it, I'd use either
Pegasus (www.pmail.com) or Eudora.  Pegasus I love, I used to use Pegasus
for DOS ;-)  The IMAP support isn't too evolved yet, though it's much
improved recently.  Either way you should be good to go.  Neither one was
created by Micro$oft, Pegasus is free, Eudora is potentially free (I think
there's a free way of running it with ads, pay way to run it without,
something like that)....

Nowadays I can't stand Windows even that much.  If I'm on a Windows
machine, I download Putty (freebie ssh client) and ssh into a Linux box,
then use Pine ;-)  Which reminds me, Pine for Windows is basically the
only open source mail client I know of.  There are some free ones (like
Pegasus, Eudora, etc.) but they're all closed source.
