More GNOME themes are available at http://art.gnome.org. I personally
use the mist engine, available at
http://primates.ximian.com/~dave/mist/.
It comes with both the GTK and GTK2 themes. It makes minor changes
to the way the UI looks instead of just changing the color of the theme.

Balsa utilizes GTK2. I haven't tried it out yet though. I use
Sylpheed-claws (http://sylpheed-claws.sourceforge.net/) for reading all
mail from mailing lists since its amazingly fast. I also use Evolution
for
all my personal email and calendering needs.
