Just two extremes: :-)
Netscape communicator is bloated but contains an easy to use GUI
mailer/newsreader.
Emacs is bloated er.. a meta operating system and offers a spartanic
mail mode ('rmail'/'mail') and an advanced one hidden in its main news
reader 'gnus'.
I am happy with the combo Emacs mail/rmail plus procmail (for automatic
sorting of incoming mail into different inboxes) plus fetchmail for
getting my POP3 mail plus inserting it into the mail queue.
Regards,
Marc
