The best email client in the world is The Bat, unfortunately the daft
phools who make it have no concept of multiplatform development, despite
the fact that the reason most people who use it do so, is the same
reason most people who use Linux do. You can run it in WINE, but not
perfectly, so everyone who wants a great email program in Linux go to
their website and bug the crap out of them to get off their flowery
laurels and get cracking on a Linux version.
