I'm very happy with Outlook Express for the most part, but I don't get
illegal operations on it (I just start it when I reboot my computer and
leave it running... so its been up for a few weeks now since my last
reboot).
I've tried everything else that I could find, but didn't find much that had
a good UI and could deal with multiple servers properly. I also like that
Outlook Express combines IMAP and NNTP support in one package, since I read
many newsgroups and many mailing lists.
You didn't mention NewsXpress, but I didn't like it very much either.
If you have a unix box handy which you are an admin on you can always run
nntpcache (http://www.nntpcache.org) there to handle the multiple server
issue. I do this to read all of my servers which exist on the internet (I
also have internal servers at my company which I can't do this with).
