Well...if you're into terminal stuff Pine is wonderful! You use fetchmail
to get your mail from the server(s), and sendmail/postfix to send with.
Pine handles the reading and composition.
If you're a GUI person, Pronto is a real good app. It uses database
technology to store messages, message information, (headers and such),
address book info... on and on. Pronto reminds me a lot of Novel GroupWise
they way it uses MySQL, (or CVS), to store email data. Very neat and tidy.
Extremely well orginized and well behaved.
Both offer wonderful filtering for your mail. With Pine one uses the power
and flexability of Procmail. For Pronto, the filtering is built in and
extremely easy to use and setup.
So, its pretty much up to you and which way you want to go, but IMHO these
two are the best choices for the Linux platform.
