I can only recommend things I have reasonably recent experience with. As far as I recall, when I used it Claws Mail was very good, but had poor support for Maildir (unmaintained plugin) and I really wanted to have my getmail -> maildrop -> MUA -> MTA -> smart host setup. Once I got reasonably proficient with mutt (and vim) I just never felt the need to go back, even though my current setup (provider IMAP/SMTP server only, sorted with imapfilter) doesn't really require it anymore. The daily horror of using Outlook at work probably doesn't help either. And then there's the equivalent of https://xkcd.com/1782/ Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
