	Well i went thru about six gui email clients before i saw the light.
Namely Mutt (mua) with procmail (mda). Try them, you'll like them!
	As for procmailrc or muttrc, you can do a google search and get
lots of great configuration files for tweaking. If you look at them you'll
be amazed at the things you can do with email. 
	For a good intro to both take a look at www.linuxbrit.co.uk
Now for the procmail recipe (man procmail and man formail): 

###### Use 16Kb cache to spot duplicates and put in folder or /dev/null
:0 Whc: .msgid.lock
| formail -D 16384 .msgid.cache
:0 a:
$MAILDIR/duplicates
