Well, I used to use Evolution; there's a lot of appeal for a person
who's been unpacking tarballs for 25 years to relax and enjoy the
experience. The integration proposed for it is great, but as of a year
or so ago, it still didn't work for me.
Though I was a little turned off by the whole Netscape thing, I
tried Thunderbird. It was solid, light, very capable, and so I'm still
using it today. It's really good software.
I'm using maildirs here, too. But instead of working out what it'd
take to have Thunderbird classify the spam, I just drop it into a folder
called "LearnSpam" which the server checks every 15 minutes and reports.
To me, it's just easier.
Give Thunderbird a try; it's good code!
