Everyone has different needs and tastes.

I have a number of clients who regularly use multiple clients. Outlook 
at the office, various PDA/cell phones while away, webmail from any 
handy computer, Netscape at home. Several clients use Windows, Mac and 
Linux workstations simultaneously (some multiple computers, some VMs). I 
do have a few who switch email clients occaisionally, but most do tend 
to stay with one set of clients. They like having the same folders 
wherever they might be. We also use shared IMAP folders in some sites 
for announcements or collaboration.
