I looked at KMail and it did not do all of what I needed. (But that was a
while ago. I have a current copy and will look into it again.) Mahogany
looks *QUITE* interesting though. If it can deal with the weirdnesses I
need for mail (like complex filters, multiple accounts, and a good spell
checker), I will be switching over to it.

I have tried to use Mutt, but I was not that impressed with it. Maybe I am
missing something there, as I have had friends rave about it as well.

At work, use EXMH. It is usable, but not something I would try and train
my wife to use.

I like Pine as well. use it quite a bit. (One of the reasons I want to
move away from EXMH at work is that slocal breaks the mailbox and Pine
chokes on it.)
