I don't know that anyone is using the mh Mail program but me, but I'm happy with it. I made a few changes and bug fixes - http://swtch.com/Mail. The major drawback is that using mh commits you to one machine, unless you do some clever synchronization behind the scenes. I've been carrying my laptop around just to read mail, which I hadn't done in years. Anyway, I think that the Mail+mh was a useful experiment but is not a good long-term solution.
In spare cycles, I have been working on a new upas/fs built around IMAP. It holds all the message headers in memory but not the bodies and attachments. It will also have search and moving messages between mailboxes, so that you can run it without storing any mail locally. (It will also cache information across runs to avoid re-downloading lots of stuff.) Once all this is working it should not be hard to add back in support for POP and local mailboxes but keep the other benefits.
