Gnome Email Clients

Spruce is pretty good, but all the gnome/gtk based clients are in the "it'll be
great in six months" catagory.  Balsa is good, but requires the gnome address
book.   I use icewm and do not want all of gnome installed.   Spruce is
actually a gtk program that does not need gnome.  

About the only thing that annoys me about spruce is that there is no indicator
(whether text color or icon) that indicates whether a message has been read or
not.  I have played with most of the mail packages available, and I prefer
spruce, but if you are already using gnome, also look at balsa.
