A hearty vote for sylpheed from me - http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/ ...

I'm using it now on Linux, briefly tested it on Windows.

Thumbs-down: scanning all the folders initially takes longer than Thunderbird. 
Every once in a while it re-scans them, during which time the folder list is 
not accessible.

Thumbs-up: But it does that in a more predictable way than Thunderbird, and 
there are no mysterious lock-ups of the UI (when it re-scans, it clearly says 
so, and only the folder list panel is greyed out, not the Composer or whatnot).

Maybe that's what Thunderbird does - re-scans the IMAP folders, but in a more 
sneaky way, and it's dumb enough to put a Big Lock on the whole interface. Hmm. 
I opened a bug report with them:

I had a look around and found claws-mail (rpm from rf) that appears to be a fork of sylpheed but more features according to wikipedia - installed just fine - very responsive - the re-scan does take time, however you know what's happening as it tells you - not like tbird - it justs locks for indeterminate times on random occasions.
