there are more out there than you can shake a stick at.
what are your thoughts of thunderbird.

It's very popular with people who need to point-and-click at
everything.

If you are willing to invest an hour or two into learning it,
mutt is the best mail user agent available, especially when you
have local mail storage and can install one of the mail search
companions, plus a filtering system like courier's mailfilter.

I'd prefer to use a client like mutt, but I've resorted to using Thunderbird because I find the integrated calendar to be useful.

Incidentally, I can use all of Thunderbird's mail functions from the keyboard. But I do have to use the mouse almost exclusively for controlling the calendar, which has actually got worse about this issue in the most recent versions.

If I could find a text / TUI mode calendar to work with mutt I'd certainly like to switch.
