Why do you need a GUI for an essentially plain-text application? When I
first switched to doing my email under Linux, as an ex-Outlook Express
user, I looked for a nice GUI client too. As of a few months ago, there
weren't any really good ones in my opinion, although Sylpheed
(http://sylpheed.good-day.net) was fast developing into perhaps the best
of the bunch. I ended up settling on Mutt running in a terminal window,
using fetchmail for background retrieval, procmail for filtering, and
exim for outbound transport. This is the most flexible, powerful, and
easy to use mail setup I've ever had, even if I can't drag messages
around with the mouse.
