On the rare occassions when I want to run a GUI mail client, I've found Sylpheed-claws the fastest and has the features I want (I'm basically a mutt-in-an-xterm guy though). One of the people we work with has very good things to say about the mail client in Ximian's Evolution. I've had problems figuring it out, but that's probably because I've never used Microsoft's virus vector, Outlook.
