I've tried using the Beam optional package, but it seems to want to crash and be debugged -- at least for me. Something about "cannot find DeskbarItem," though the file's right there in the same folder.

Anyway, I'm really writing to ask what folks are using as an email client. As far as I can tell, there's the baked in email application, Beam-1.0, Beam-1.1.2, BeZillaMail-2.0.0.21, and Thunderbird-2.0.0.17. Is anyone using any of these -- or anything else -- with any success?

It's sort of exciting inching my way closer to being able to use Haiku on a daily basis -- at least in a baseline sense; email has become another, ahem, challenge.
