Hmmm? I run Thunderbird on my Windows all the time.
However, I do believe the original poster is looking for something that supports Exchange Server, presumably in Exchange/Outlook native mode. Good luck. That is a proprietary RPC based server-side email system, in that mode its neither POP nor IMAP. Exchange Server can be configured to support POP and/or IMAP users, but then you lose all the groupware 'benefits' of Exchange. .

Actually, if you're using Windows XP (32-bit), Evolution does work. At least according to these folks:

I stand corrected. A google search didn't hit that for me.

After trying this, it doesn't work very well.

I haven't actually tried it myself since I'm satisfied with Thunderbird. What exactly was wrong with it? I've never used Evolution (even on Linux) since it always seemed rather buggy to me.

I tried a quick install "just to see" and no matter how I tried to connect to my imap server, it kept throwing ssl errors, even without trying an encrypted connection. In no way could I connect and display messages or folders. Then after uninstall, it left a lot of stuff behind, still running. I think the creator made it just fit their requirements and stopped.

---- I've been using Evolution in various versions via CentOS, RHEL and Fedora for years, always with an IMAP server and using TLS too. Note that this e-mail (like all my e-mails whether from office or home) was written with Evolution.
Never had an issue
The only feature that it seems to lack is support for namespaces such as those offered by cyrus with shared folders.

I agree with Craig's sentiment about Evolution + IMAP. No problems. Now, Evolution + Exchange Connector, that's a different story. My mail box at work is on Exchange, and at the moment that probably isn't going to change. I found the Exchange Connector to be too slow in versions prior to 2.12 (inefficient recursive checking of mail in folders/shared folders), but that 2.12 had it's own share of Exchange problems (calendar messages were messed-up, *all* attachments came through as that stoopid winmail.dat crap).
I've found that when dealing with Exchange and people on non-Windows (even OSX w/o MS Office), you have two options:
1) Get rid of Exchange. (IMO, preferable)
-- or --
2) Enable IMAP, use what-ever client you want, and use OWA (Outlook Web Access) for your calendaring. (not perfect, but works)
Now, I've heard of rumours that someone is working on a native MAPI plug-in for Evolution (Connector uses OWA's RPC-over-HTTP), but no ETA as of yet.

I assure you, my negative was for the windows port mentioned above. I just don't think it is quite ready for prime time yet. The native linux port I don't have a problem with.

BTW, why can't I install lightning on a centos 5.1 x86_64 machine?
If I download it from:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/releases/0.7/...
it says that the architecture Linux-x86_64-gcc3 is wrong.
It works on Fedora 7 x86_64.
I even tried building lightning from source, same error when installing in thunderbird.
