There aren't a lot of Windows-specific email clients; basically, your 
choices are either Microsoft's own clients (Outlook, Outlook Express (XP 
only), and Windows Mail/Windows Live Mail (Vista and Windows 7)) or 
cross-platform clients such as Thunderbird. Thunderbird is my own 
choice, in part because I can use it on all three major platforms and 
because it is nearly identical (the differences are mostly cosmetic) on 
all of them.

Eudora was popular once upon a time but hasn't been maintained for ages. 
The new "open source Eudora" is basically Thunderbird with a modified 
UI. There are a few other things out there (Pegasus Mail, anyone?) but 
few people use them.
