Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I don't think Pine and Alpine should be separate. They're pretty much the same! You have Emacs and XEmacs together in the text editor category, so why not the same here?
Evolution definitely. Myself coming from the Windows world using Outlook, Evolution definitely wins. Thunderbird, IMO, is alright. A little too minimal for my tastes.
I use CommuniGate (my ISP's webmail interface), awaiting their switch to SquirrelMail.
BTW, since SquirrelMail is a web-based e-mail application, is it really an e-mail client, & does it belong in this poll? Doesn't Gmail have an equal claim?
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see it (SquirrelMail) because I use none of the others regularly.

The two webmail applications were added last year, due to overwhelming member demand. They differ from Gmail in that you can download them - they're applications. Gmail is a hosted service.
Claws is THE mail client. Lightweight, a doddle to configure, pgpinline encrypted messages, aaaaaand........ how do you backup claws mail? Yup just copy and paste the .claws directory and the .mailout dircetory and the ones in your /home dir to a USB pebdrive. Then you can paste them into the /home folder of ANY distro with claws and it will just work. No config, no messing and all your messages and addresses backed up. Claws rocks!!!.
