I am almost desperate enough to use MS Outlook, but would strongly prefer something portable.

Must have

  • Gratis
  • Windows (10)
  • Support multiple email addresses
  • [update] auto-correct spell checker

Nice to have

  • plays well with Gmail (and my own server)
  • large user base and good support
  • support for GPG encryption
  • other security features
  • fairly standard look/feel
  • plugins

It looks like MS Outlook is no longer free. I am experimenting with Windows 10's built-in Mail app.

  • Ooopsies!! Sorry, Steve, I am already using ThunderbIrd (+1), I just phrased the question badly. I asked in the title for an auto-correct spell checker, but forgot to put it in the list of must have features. I have been using TB since Qualcomm scrapped Eudroa, but the lack of this features is now aggravating me so much that I am willing to switch. Even (shudder) to MS Outlook, if I can't get a good portable client (portable because I reinstall Windows every few months). Any ideas?
