[Sussex] Decent e-mail client?

[Gavin Stevens]

Hi all,

I've been quiet for a long time (due to new romance & a lot of 
concerts). However, I have still been getting to know Debian, 
albeit more slowly than I originally planned.

My grand master plan is to migrate from Windows completely (the 
only thing that might prevent this is if my favourite music 
score-writing package won't work well in WINE). 

I have been using Spruce as an e-mail client, but it seems to 
have died on me, so I have had to ressurect Balsa, which is fine 
as long I remember that I must *never* miniaturise it or I have 
to kill it before it comes back again.

I would use Mozilla, but this 200 MHz box struggles terribly with 
it, so I use Opera for surfing (not Open, but it works well). 
I've never found an e-mail client with which I am truly happy. 
Any suggestions?

I am still using Debian Potato (2.2r4), although I shall get 
Woody soon, as long as the system requirements haven't changed 
dramatically.

BTW: If any suggested clients come as .deb packages, then great. 
I've not yet compiled anything.

Good to see the list positively buzzing & I hope to be able to 
make a meeting or 2 in the New Year.

Gavin.
