Sylpheed is a nice email client. If you're happy with it, why switch?
Is it lacking something you need?

I use mutt rather than sylpheed primarily because I want a console-mode
mail client. I often read mail over an ssh session from other locations,
and forwarding X from a consumer-grade DSL site is much too slow. My
wife, however, only reads mail at home, so she uses Sylpheed and is
happy with it.

Probably another console-mode client. Slrn is the obvious candidate, I
think, but there are others. I haven't actively read Usenet news since
about 1995, so I'm not sure what's around these days.
