THUNDERBIRD my friend is all i have to say.

actually not ALL i have to say....

i have thunderbird setup on a fat32 partition that i share between my dual boot windows and linux installations. you can configure the folder setup so both os versions point to a folder on the fat32 drive and youre set!

also bayesian spam filtering, super easy and configurable message filters, blah, blah, thunderbird rocks, blah, blah
