I use pine to read all of my mail. I have an account that handles about 6
mailing lists, each of which filtered into it's own folder.

Usually while at work, I let the messages build up, then when I get a
minute, I go through all of the folders and sort by thread. I then delete
the threads I don't want, and read the rest of the messages one by one.

I find with pine I can manoever and manipulate through several mail
accounts by using the shortcut keys 5 times faster than any gui based
email client.
