Hi, Now in Japan, GTK+ based mail client called "sylpheed" develops for whole Unix based systems by HIroyuki Yamamoto. It opens as "alpha-version" now, but feels stable on normal use. It looks like some Windoze mailers, menu based settings, feels easy to use.
Features: Light weight cool interface easy to set/use Now implemented multi-account MH format mail handring multi-part MIME clickable URI Address book (XML based database) NNTP reader APOP account gettext message system for internationalization and so on. It develops on Debian/x86, and works on Linux-x86/PPC,Solaris, FreeBSD, with GTK+ libs. Now Mr. Yamamoto updates and implements new features day by day.
