What about som textbased client like mutt or alpine?

Another possibility along these lines would be nmh. The thing I like about nmh is it doesn't store messages in mbox format files. Each message lives in its own file. This might seem trivial to many until clamav quarrantines your entire mbox file because it found a virus in a single message. I had that happen to me once and lost over 600 other messages that way. It's necessary to use the inc command inside nmh to pull messages off the mail spool file into nmh and once this is done, the mail spool file is expendible. Clamav runs on a machine set up this way it only quarrantines the specific messages with the viruses in them and leaves the rest tested and unmolested so you can read them later. Of course nmh is made up of several commands so it takes a little more to learn to use it but with use you're not stuck in one mail client program.
