you want kmail. It's not in potato, it's from kde2.1. It's the best graphical
mail client i've ever used, and i've used lots of them on lots of platforms.
It's got filtering, multiple mailbox support, threading, automatic pgp if you
choose.. The only con is lack of IMAP support, which can be cured by using
fetchmail alongside it. I just tried sylpheed and gave up halfway converting
my mailbox files from the standard mbox format kmail uses and the MH format
that sylpheed wants.. kmail is very nice.
