Yes indeed.  Those are excellent alternatives to the Outlook family
of email clients.  I used to use Eudora myself, before switching 
to a Linux Desktop.

I used to suggest the free version of Eudora to Outlook users but
found that many people who use Outlook are required to do so by their
employers and so, sadly, they cannot move to a different email client.

These Outlook Plug-ins gives folks more/better email compatibility with
a very small change and no violation of their Employer's IT policies or
platforms.

I've been much more successful with suggesting these fixes than with
suggesting switching email clients. I have to admit, its can be a lot of
work to change email clients what with having to convert address books,
mailboxes and learn new interfaces.

Even when its easy, its perceived as a lot of work and trauma.
