I'm a big fan of mutt, it's my main mail client since a couple of years. But I'm not sure if is a good replacement for someone use to thunderbird. If you are searching for something in comand line, powerful and configurable I recomend you mutt (plus fetchmain, procmail, crm114 and msmtp). You'll need some time to configure it, but it's worth it. If you want something graphical without that much of configuration I recomend you mail/claws-mail. I didn't use it in years, but before I discover mutt for me was the best mail client. If you want to try other things I'm lately geeking with notmuch[0] a mail client based on search trees and tags. Really interesting, but I didn't manage to compile it on FreeBSD jet (I didn't try hard).
