I have heard/read that Thunderbird is MS Outlook Light.

I do use Firefox so Thunderbird (T-bird??) would be fine.

Whatever you want to use and has the features you need.

Since you have not told us why you utilize Outlook, what you connect to with Outlook, etc - making a suggestion about an application to substitute for Outlook is all but impossible. For all we know - you could use Outlook to connect to an Exchange server and use it for Calendar, Tasks and Public Folders. Kinda limits your options.

Just email? POP/IMAP? Thunderbird. You'll especially like it if you like Firefox.

With Thunderbird you can create _one_ Spam filter rule. Click:

Tools, Message Filters, Filters for Email account, New, make the Filter Name "SPAM", If "From" "isn't in my address book" "Personal Address Book", Perform these actions: "Move Message to" "Trash on Local Folders".

Check Unread messages in the Trash folder and delete occasionally. Drag to the Inbox if you want to keep one. Right-click the email in the header, click "Add to Address Book" if you find you've missed one.
