Thunderbird. Just a personal preference like every answer in every poll comparing two or more applications that do, essentially, the same thing. I use Fluxbox and XFCE so I try to minimize the GNOME libraries and apps on my machine.

Thunderbird, even on Ubuntu which comes with Evolution by default. Thunderbird is extensible, Evolution is too much like Outlook; and I don't need any of the additional functionality (calendar) anyway.
If you need a fast and simple one, just to send and receive emails then is better to use Thunderbird, evolution as others say remind me with the time i used windows is similar to Outlook.
I am also with those that prefer Thunderbird. I also like how you can use extensions to customise its fuctionality. Evolution is a bit too heavy and I am not too keen on it.
