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.
