A number of years ago (probably about 10) I exchanged some email with
David Harris on this.  When I moved from Windows to Linux as my primary
desktop platform, I used exmh, then converted to sylpheed, then
sylpheed-claws, then claws-mail. (Claws was at one time an extension of
sylpheed). Claws-mail is available on both Linux and Windows, and is
very light weight. At the time I moved my email to Linux, I was dual
booting, and I wrote a C program to convert the Pegasus mail format
files (at that time Pegasus used its own format) to mh (mh uses a
directory structure as folders with 1 message per file).
