Alternative email client that can access Contacts

Hello. I am seriously looking for an alternative to Windows Mail, having had
the odd fright with it, even though I use it on IMAP and not POP. I am NOT
interested in WLM, although I recognise many folk find it good for their
needs. I would go to Thunderbird, but what I would really like would be a
client that can use the Windows Contacts, as they sync very nicely with my
Nokia phone. I'd rather not have to maintain two independant contact sets.
Any ideas out there?

It's OK - I'll reply to myself in case it is of help to anyone else
here. Installed the latest Thunderbird after discoivering there's a neat
little extension for it that syncs with the Nokia phone. Appears not all
Nokias are catered for, but after warning me that my phone was not one
it was meant to work with I went ahead anyway. Results - perfect!
Fiddled with entries at both ends, and synced many times, and it's not
dropped the ball once!

If anyone wants to try this here is the link for the download:

As I said, it's working perfectly for me. I am a happy chappy!
