KMail ... great integration with KDE, great importing capabilities and can use both maildir and mbox formats ... which makes imports and exports very easy.

How about Firefox/Opera? I use Gmail..and that's pretty much the only way I'd ever consider checking it...

They're not designed to be email clients, they're web browsers.

Kmail, because it is so integrated with the KDE-PIM.

Opera is an email client (hence the Opera M2 option), but should not be considered one if you're using it for GMail (unless you POP mail off your GMail account).

When I'm in GUI, I use Evolution.

Otherwise, in console environment, I switch often between mutt and pine.

opera works, others quit...

my mail account is unchanged over the years, now evolution and thunderbird no longer work with my
simple unchanged settings...but opera works with
no effort...guess my vote! Why does stupid pride of
complexity keep destroying more and more linux apps?

Hello,

I use SquirrelMail regularly. That is because I use a webmail site and that is the app that they use and I am too lazy to setup the accounts in another program. However, I would prefer to use Mutt! When I finally stop procrastinating, I will see about using Mutt full time.

I use web mail almost exclusively. I can get at it anywhere with the same functionality, usability, look and feel cross platform. Sure there are many email clients which offer cross platform functionality, but they are not installed and configured everywhere, but I can usually find a web browser that is. Honestly, a traditional e-mail client is just about more trouble than it's worth.

pine gets my vote. Sure, the GUI ones are nice; but what is the point of using a GUI when not required?
