Right now I receive far too much email, which I need to be able to access quickly in ways that Pine can't do as well for me. I need a complex folder tree and HTML view (though HTML is often not necessary in email, but I can't educate everyone else why), quick access to many accounts and mail protocols within the same client, and many other tools, or at least it makes email much more efficient for me to have it all in one place. I've tried duplicating what I need in Pine and other text clients with other tools, but it never works as efficiently as a GUI client with the right tools built in. One day I'll write my own, though, without as much overhead as KMail or just clean that one up. - jt
