Nixternal (and maybe a few others in the loco) use mutt.  I have not used it
myself, but it is terminal-based, and seems very powerful.  Of course, it
would seem harder to configure.

After that, I would probably suggest thunderbird 3.0.  Thunderbird 3.0 is
available via the mozilla-daily ppa for Ubuntu 9.10.  I'm not sure if
thunderbird 3.0 is or will be made available via the karmic-backports
repository.
