I don't like Outlook either, but Evolution is pushing some new
technology Gnome technology.

My mail account has IMAP access, no POP3. However since during the
day I may be logged into 5 different machines, I need to have my mail
in one location. I simply login and read the mail from the mail
spool. As text clients go it's among the best. I can have special
hooks based on regular expressions, so I can appear to have another
email address when replying to you for example, my sig can be
specially tailored, FCC the mail to a special directory... etc.
