I like kmail the best so far... After being forced to use MS LookOut for so long at work, I really enjoy the feeling of saftey I get from it (kmail, I mean).

i tend to use pine... hmm.. not on poll.

what's the deal with no one knowing how to install programs... maybe we should definitely get a tutorial on how to install tar.gz packages....

The best email client is the one that does what you want the way you want, you've got a multitude to choose from under linux...unlike certain other operating systems that shall remain nameless.
