I've seen good comments about Mulberry, even some in the O'Reilly book on
IMAP, but personally haven't been that impressed.

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.
