As for good mail clients, others can advise better than me. (Mozilla's mail works well for me, but has no auto-threading in the versions which can run on 8.6.)
As an extreme alternative, you could try a different UNIX on your iMac, such as Yellow Dog. In theory, you can still run Classic and X apps using the Mac-on-Linux emulator. In practice, I am having some difficulty persuading this to work as advertised, so I wouldn't recommend this for a production machine yet.

How well would MacOS 10.3 run on my Rev c iMac (the fruit coloured

OS X is going to be slower in some ways, faster in others. The big advantage
is the ability to reliably run lots of programs concurrently without noticable
slowdown, and to keep on working on other things when a program is busy or
waiting on disk or network. Some operations are slowed down by the fancier
graphics, and interprocess communication is a little slower, but all in all
it's more than adequate.
