You could have a look at Osmo. It is in the repos.

It uses whatever mail agent you have set up. I use claws-mail have done
for more than a year now following using kmail for about 6 or 7 years.
Was a long time kde user, was...

I did a very similar to you for similar reasons. I did not appreciate
what was happening with kde and have vowed to not use it again, ever!

I don't really use that much of these desktop features, but I didn't
like evolution (I'm also sick of stuff that looks like or tries to
mimick m$ win-dohs, so I'm not really that enamoured with gnome either.

Osmo was about the best I could find.
