Yes. And in two flavours. Sylpheed, the vanilla version, and Sylpheed-claws, the strawberry bleeding-edge version, which is actually stable enough for my none-too-demanding needs. > BTW -- why would using an X mail application exclude you from also running > mutt? No, it won't. But it does pose a problem if you suddenly misconfigured X. As a fall-back I began learning mutt ;-). You can run Sylpheed alongside with mutt if you use the MH format for your mailbox. You can even use Sylpheed as a popclient and mailfilter for mutt. The only problem I've had is with rereading mail. Mail marked as read in mutt doesn't appear as read in Sylpheed.
