Gnus (running in Xemacs).

Gnus is basically a newsreader that is designed to handle large
amounts of messages very well. Mail is handled through the included
storage backend systems.

Gnus is highly configurable and "programmable". If you need a
function, write a short lisp expression to implement it. If you don't
like the way a function works, change it (no real need to do this!).

Gnus works with graphical interface and without.

Gnus is hated by most users that come from Windows :)
It requires you to learn some keystrokes to work efficiently -
including the Emacs editing commands. There definitely is a learning
curve but it's worth to master it.

To be fair: I couldn't convince my wife to use it (she hates it too).

Btw.: gnus is broken with the Xemacs versions 21.4.11 and 21.4.12 in
Gentoo. You have to go back to 21.4.10 if you want to use gnus.

Regards, Frank
