Mutt http://www.mutt.org
Mutt is a small but very powerful text-based mail client for Unix. Its
interface is loosely based on ELM, and
ELM users will find it quite painless to switch, but includes many many
more features gleaned from PINE
and MUSH, hence the name 'mutt'.
Elm http://www.myxa.com/elm.html
ELM is one of the most popular terminal mode mail handling
programs. It is powerful, easy to use, and easy to find help on. It has all
the mail
handling features you would expect, including MIME support (via metamail).
X11 - E-Mail http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~glenn/arrow/
E-Mail Clients are used to send, receive, and manage e-mail from your POP3
e-mail
accounts that most ISP services provide. Addressbook software is also
useful for
managing the names and e-mail addresses of all your friends, family, and
co-workers.
XFMail http://burka.netvision.net.il/xfmail/xfmail.html
XFMail has very friendly user interface and it's extremely easy in
use. It implements most of the mail functionality in one program and it
does not
require any additional tools.
