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.
