    Mozilla Thunderbird should be able to handle that for you, but then so will Outlook and Outlook Express.
    Thunderbird is completely free, Outlook Express is packaged with Windows and Outlook is part of MS office.
    Netscape mail is another alternative, but it's a bit of a pig, just like Outlook. I've used all of these and just settled on Thunderbird. It loads quickly and has just the right features for me. Junk filter, blocks remote images, themes, and extensions.
    Outlook has more options, if that's what you want, but you can't really tweak its' appearance or functionality.

    there are some 3rd party thingers that'll let you use gmail through a regular mail app

    how it works is just looking at the gmail html, and starting a pop3d on your machine that you connect to and get you gmail through that :)
