You will no doubt get a range of suggestions on this. I have tried most
email apps for Linux and I have found that Ishmail takes some beating.
Ishmail was originally a commercial app and is very sophisticated and
polished. It is now under the GNU licence and is under active
development. It is available from http://ishmail.sourceforge.net/ - it
does need motif (or lesstif) to compile. Both are available free on the
'net.
