I am very pleased with Outlook 2010, but since I can't use it any more I have two big options: buy it or search for a decent cheaper/free replacement.

What I need from that program/suite is:

  • POP/SMTP good management (I have Yahoo Mail Plus which uses SSL for SMTP and POP3 - not all clients support these)
  • Task management
  • RSS feed reading
  • Calendar / scheduling

This is for personal use.

Any suggestions?

Try Thunderbird + Lightning extension (see picture below).

Thunderbird supports SMTP/POP3/IMAP with or without SSL, RSS feeds and Lightning adds tasks/calendars.

Furthermore Thunderbird is highly customizable through masses of useful add-ons.

Well, there is Windows Live Mail 2011. It really looks nice and Outlook-ish ;)

Windows Live Mail 2011

It's practically Outlook Express revamped, nice.
