Thunderbird is pretty good (it's Mozilla) ... I don't really use it too often though.

Opera Mail for my other e-mail address, but usually I use Gmail.

Evolution (good if you use GNOME), mutt (text-based mail client).
I've heard thunderbird is good too.

EDIT: KDE has a mail reader too. I can't remember the name, but it was probably KMail (very creative :p).

pine, for spam-fighting emergencies

Thunderbird for daily use

I used to use balsa, but it would hang on certain bits of HTML code and become unusable until you purged the message, either by hand from the mailbox file, or using pine.  So unfortunately, I cannot recommend balsa.

Opera comes with a built-in email client but it's shit, it's my only criticism of what otherwise is a great piece of software.

[offtopic]I knew there had to be something about Opera you didn't like...[/offtopic]

[offtopic]So Opera's not a great piece of software? [/offtopic]

[offtopic]Opera's the best browers but it isn't the best email client, I might just put it ahead of Outlook because for security's sake but it's inferiour as far as features are concerned.

Either way if you have a low memory machine it's probably better than using Firefox and Thunderbird as it does two jobs with one piece of software, therefore makeing the most effective use of available memory. :p[/offtopic]

[offtopic]Is this really offtopic? If you surf the web and check your mail at the same time, then your arguement makes sense. In fact, anything that makes multitasking easier on a low power computer is great. But how many people are so hardcore that they can read email and surf the web at the same time?

Personally, if I was going to do the mail/web-at-the-same-time-with-the-same-program thing, I would probably use Mozilla. Sea Monkey even. Mozilla's mail client is top notch, and Sea Monkey is a rad browser.[/offtopic]

[Aloone_Jonez]

[offtopic] true, but Sea Monkey is more bloated than Opera - not ideal on low end hardware.[/offtopic]

Funny how you guys jump at any attempt to discredit Jonez's love for Opera.

I go with thunderbird because it's virtually identical on any OS it runs while still being good. It's simple too, no clutter for simple use.

[Jack2000]

right
then it is going to be thunderbird
becouse i DO surf the net and chek my mail all at  the same time

[OFFTOPIC]I agree that Opera Mail is shit, but it serves sending the occasional e-mail on my second account.[/OFFTOPIC]
