I use Evo, but only because I have had to deal with Exchange email and
Exchange calendaring in my consulting and I refuse to use Outlook.  I do
like Evo's virtual folders.  They do make it easy to organize and sort
email.

I run the latest snapshot, since there was a fair bit of breakage with
the standard Ubuntu release.  There is a nifty Makefile which you can
get which makes the builds pretty simple.

If you do not need the added Evo functionality, Thunderbird is a fine
and quite stable email client.
