I recently switched from Kmail to Thunderbird, and I would recommend either of them. Kmail seems to thread better, but Tbird is not bad either. Tbird is very customizable with extensions. The only problem with either is speed: 1) Kmail's built in spam filter (bogofilter) is _s_l_o_w_ 2) Thunderbird has a 1/10 second delay when switching messages. Also, Tbird's default keyboard shortcuts are a pain in the ass. You cannot browse messages and scroll messages with the arrow keys only. The only extension that solves it (Nostalgy) doesn't do it very much better: you must hold CTRL while arrowing keying to scroll.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
