Gene,
I prefer the maildir rather than mbox format, which narrows my choices somewhat. What I ended up doing was running virtualbox with a rather early version of Slackware in there, with the correspondingly early version of KDE, and use kmail to do all of my mail. Filters are rather extensive, since I keep on adding spammers to that list, and haven't given me any trouble, so far.
