Well, if you use KDE, then I suggest to you to use KMail. It's the best
client I've found.
If you decide to use it - PLEASE download and compile KDE 1.1.2 - KMail
there got some features added, as well as lots of bug fixed..
There is another one called Magallen, but it's only for the upcoming KDE
2.0 :)
