As of now I second that :)

At the time of the original post I had getmail, procmail, spamprobe
(etc.) set up on my desktop/workstation and the problem was that most
mail-clients wouldn't really work with this setup. at least not
without some mayor annoyances. 

Now I just moved everything to my NetBSD server and installed
Courier-Imap on it. This seems to be the best possible solution at the
moment, since most MUAs do IMAP and this way I'm free to mess around
without having to worry about Maildir, Procmail, Spamprobe and
whatever else.

I tried Evolution but it just feels to bloated for me since my calendar
is still on paper and my to-do list lives inside my head. The
Mail-Client in itself is alright, but doesn't work with fortunes (at
least not without some tinkering which I did not feel like).

Thunderbird is also okay, but for some reason runs pretty slow.
Enigmail is very good though.

The best one so far is imho Claws-Mail. It has literally tons of
useful options, does good GnuPG and S/MIME and fits very well into
Gnome and XFCE. The only downside is the address book, which lacks an
integration into gnome, a plug-in for that would be great.

Cheers
Felix
