I used Mutt+Offlineimap+Msmtp for long time but then happened some strange  
thing with my python and offlineimap stopped working and I wasn't able to  
fix that anymore. By that time I was using some other distro. And now I'm  
too lazy to set all those things up again in Ubuntu. That's why I turned  
to GUI email clients and Evolution worked fine. It still does. But I'm  
giving a try to Opera 10.10 now.
