Version: The Bat (Professional Edition) 3.0
Pros: Fast fetching of e-mail, importing feature from other clients, lots of features, spam blocker is pretty good, interface is very intuitive, and it is skinnable [I never tried to skin it but it said so in its knowledge-base.]. Easy configuration, too. It doesn't take up too much system resources. It stands the same as Mozilla Thunderbird. I got it. The only feature that it's lacking is an organizer, like MS Outlook has.
Cons: None.

Version: The Bat (Professional Edition) 3.0
Pros: The Bat! IS my chice for a Email Client. After spending a lot of time experimenting with lots of other clients, I found the Bat! to be the one with more features as a mail client, not as a PIM, for which I would choose Microsoft Outlook.
I like the spelling check, the "find mails" feature, the PGP encryption (although it only supports free PGP.
I like the Bat" very much, but it is not for everyone. If you like Outlook Express, the Bat! will look to you like an impossible to understand monster.
Cons: The price. I don't like the price, period.
The BayesIT! spam filters stops working without apparent reasons.

Version: The Bat (Professional Edition) 3.0
"The best and most secure e-mail client on the market"
Pros: It has everything! Advanced filters, view mail on server, accurate send and recieve percentage progression etc. But most of all it does not use any Microsoft stuff and in the 4 years I've used it I've never had a virus.
Cons: You can't customise the toolbar.
