E-mail program wanted

Anyone know of a good PC mail program? I use aol for my server and Windows mail.
But to be honest the Windows mail never seems to collect all my mail. keeps giving me error messages and is generally annoying.

I loved Mac Mail, but I don't have a Mac anymore.

Any suggestions welcome?

    Thunderbird is a pretty popular choice...

    Another vote for Thunderbird (and for the Lightning calendar add-on if you need that feature).

    Thunderbird: it has some really nice built-in features, like tabbed browsing, multiple layouts, a pseudo-conversation view, and super easy account adding. However, Thunderbird's true awesomeness lies in its add-on capability. With Thunderbird's big add-on library, you can tweak Thunderbird to fit a lot of specific needs. For example, you can import address books, import Outlook PST files, or even skin it to look like Apple Mail which you may wish to have being a fan of Mac Mail.
