Just export you mailbox from Outlook and import it into whatever else (eg. eudora). If you need to go back, just export from Eudora back to CSV and re-import into Outlook.
Personally, I use Outlook 2002 and PocketOutlook. I like outlook and don't have any stability problems with it, and it sync's properly with my PocketPC. And since I use it at work as well I actually use the calendar/tasks/etc. other features it has. And through the PocketPC it keeps my home Outlook and my work Outlook all in sync. In the next month or so I plan on upgrading to the Outlook 2003 beta, I hear it's much nicer looking than 2002 and is stable enough to use.

hmmm.. yeah. i tried using eudora's import on a psd, and it just pulled in the folders, but no mail
. i should try it exporting from outlook to eudora.
i dunno... i may just keep using outlook. i've been using it regularly for like 5 years now, just as well keep using it i guess. not familiar enough with much else, although i do kinda like the lightweight nature of eudora.
as far as reliability issues, outlook is really screwy. it gets sometimes where it will take forever to open. that's really annoying. then sometimes it will crash on startup, i finally had to basically reinstall it. then the latest problem, the crash on send/recieve, finally fixed itself. dunno why it does it, but if you leave it long enough, it just fixes itself and works. what a pile of crap
