pine has the best imap support, and can support pgp/gpg though filters
(check out pgp4pine on freshmeat), this is what i use.

mutt's pgp/gpg integration is second to none (it's *really* nice) but it
only uses pgp/mime which a lot of clients don't support yet
(pine/netscape).  i also personally hate it's lack of editor
integration.  if it wasn't for that i'd be using mutt now (in fact i have
tried to swap several times but the the features i lose from pine drive me
nuts and i always end up reverting).

netscape also has good imap support, and for older versions you can use
premail (check freshmeat, i think there is a debian package as well) for pgp
integration (no gpg i don't believe).

there are some other gui mail readers that i hear are quite good but i've
never used enough to have any real opinion on.  check out tkrat, postillion,
xfmail (now becomming archimedes) all of which support imap and pgp/gpg to
varying degrees.
