Spruce!? Nice GTK+-GUI based Netscape-mail'ish POP email thingy.
I don't think I would've liked using mutt as a Linux newbie, and it then
helps to have something you feel familiar with from day 1, and for me
that was KMail (I used SuSE back then, which defaulted to KDE-1.1), but
spruce is about the same in a GTK+ version.
But of course, mutt simply rocks, and I use nothing else for mail now
that I have muttzilla set up ...
