The strength of Thunderbird is that is cross platform, and if you need
use both Windows and Linux the benefits of having a similarly configured
Mail client on both platforms to my mind outweighs any advantages of
using the 'best' mail client for each. (If you need to know IMHO this is
Evolution in Linux, and TheBat or Pegasus on MS). For a multi-platform
solution not using a Web Client Thunderbird is better than any
alternative I know of. I am not certain of the current status of Eudora
(but I never liked it so that is irrelevant to me), and anyone using the
EMACS mail client must be a masochist by definition :-).

Why run an inferior email client when a superior one is at hand?
Email clients are a bit like cars, of which there are many to choose from.
You pick because of some combination of features that suits you better than
the others you've looked at, availability, and/or something particularly
compelling to you that is missing from or poorer than others.
