Well all,
I'm quite firmly with Josh and Diego. Nothing beats the pine & ssh combo!
It's my preferred mailreader/newsreader.
However, for composing seven-hundred (exaggeration) messages
simultaneously under X (at work) where bandwidth to the IMAP/POP3
server(s) is no big deal, I like to use tkrat, which (incidentally, Subba)
supports multiple IMAP and multiple POP3 accounts simultaneously.
Although it's UI is a bit plain (TK-based), the functionality is solid and
reliable. "The Rat" as we call it at work is "very" configurable.
Multiple accounts on IMAP servers, and POP3 servers...I believe it also
supports local Maildirs (though I won't swear to that).
"The Rat" also allows you to "forge" the headers for some primitive
support for roles (which pine, admittedly does very well).
There's even an offshoot of TKRat called Postilion, which is a bit less
stable, but has a nicer interface, and provides better support for
"roles".
By the way, the newest version of TkRat is not too stable.....YMMV
Best of luck,
-Martin
