I know everyone wants to have gui clicky-drooly mail clients, but I
just have to say, the #1 mail client in my book is MUTT. Yes, it's a
console mail client, but it's the ONLY mail client I have used (and I
have tried them ALL, *especially* the GUI ones!) that could handle the
amount of email I have in my mailboxes without even a single glitch.
(I have some email folders with > 9000 email messages in them.) Mutt
is awesome, and INCREDIBLY fast. If you can get over the leaning
curve, it rocks.
