Totally off topic, but I love this stuff, so...

I use Eudora 6.1 Pro. Though I think the free 
offers a lot of the same features.  It's 
available for Mac, Windows, and I think Linux 
users. I also believe it can be used even if your 
primary email account is Hotmail or Yahoo. I'm 
not certain about Web.TV though.

Also for Windows  users, I hear PocoMail is 
pretty good. Outlook and Outlook Express get tons 
of props from people, but I can't recommend them 
since they are virus magnets, and actively enable 
viruses without any help from the user.  So 
Eudora http://www.eudora.com or PocoMail 
http://www.pocomail.com/ are my recommendations.

If your on a Mac, especially if your running Mac 
OS X, then you have some great options:

Apple's Mail
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/mail/
This is a great email client. Allowing some power 
user features such as sorts, filters, spam 
control, etc. I find it not as powerful as 
Eudora, hence no switching on my part.

MailSmith
http://www.barebones.com/products/mailsmith/index.shtml
This application has some great features. Each 
release tempts me, but I still stay with my 
Eudora.

Eudora Pro
http://www.eudora.com/
A classic that just keeps getting better. My 
biggest complaint is the slightly aging 
interface, but with Junk Mail, Power Filters, 
Rapid Fast Searches, Standard Mailboxes (you can 
open a mailbox in any version of Eudora, as well 
as in other application), address book works with 
Apple's Address Book, each mailbox can store over 
33,000 messages, etc., etc.

What can I say. I LOVE Eudora.  All my fan 
fiction is stored in a folder called 
"FanFiction". Inside that folder is BuffySlash, 
BirdsofPrey, Xena, Voyager, OnceandAgain, and 
more. The use of Filters, MailBox Sorts, and 
Searches  make storing large amounts of email 
very easy to manage. Between work, friends, and 
fun my Eudora folder is 1.5GBs, but I can search 
through it all pretty quickly.

Give it a try. It makes storing fan fiction fun 
and easy. I probably have the best collection of 
Buffy/Willow, Popular, ER_KimKerry, and 
BirdsofPrey fictions (at least as it's been 
posted to news_groups).  And by regularly 
removing the general conversations (using the 
search feature), I can keep the MailBox sizes 
down.
