I can't believe no one else has recommended netscape. netscape 4 does support IMAP and in fact I think it's a pretty sweet mail client. (No, I'm not a unix newbie. I've been writing unix software for over five years and used various character-mode mail clients.) These days I have to write NT software but with netscape I can just copy all my folders and address book from machine to laptop and in fact use *the same files* on my laptop whether I'm booted in Windoze or Linux. Now that is cool in my opinion. True, netscape is not as configurable as mutt, but sometimes I like to send mail with actual formatting like bold, italic, etc. Anyway, there you have it. Now all Linux netscape needs is drag-and-drop...
