This is a tough one.. I really like Evolution.. especially for corporate email.. connecting to exchange and whatnot.. I also like Thunderbird on both Windows and Linux.. I even converted my grandmother and grandfather to Thunderbird and they just love it.. Also, on slow computers, sylpheed has all the necessary features and none of the bloat... I have an old notebook that I've been toying around with.. (Pentium 200MMX, 32MB RAM, 3 GB HD) and with both VectorLinux 4.3 and DSL hd-install sylpheed runs pretty nicely...

What is the best? Who knows, they probably all work, and can all run Spamassassin for all I know.

I voted KMail/Kontact, simply because it integrates nicely with KDE.

I was on thunderbird for a few months and started seeing that it repeats some of Outlook's mistakes in order to appeal to Outlook users. Then I found out why KMail seemed broken all along, and fixed it, and am finally happy. Gee, do I wanna load QT and KDE libs or GTK2 and XUL? It's just as slow for me...

Kmail is what I use at the moment, but M2 really looks promising. Next year M2 should be smoking hot.

evolution + hotwayd = more convenience than I deserve!

I also like "paste quotation" which wasn't in the earlier version
I used to use, but is there now.

I like the way it handles attachments, especially images.

There's lots more, but I need not write a novel.
