Thought I'd just stick my oar in and recommend Sylpheed as a Gtk based mail client it's extremely fast and configurable and has all the functionality you'll probably need (except html mail). It stores mail in the mh and not mbox format so it doesn't mess up like Thunderbird / Icedove does if you have a mailbox with a lot of messages in it. Tried Evolution but found it to be too slow and unstable.
