Unfortunately excellence in email clients is like excellence in spouses;
people don't agree, and in fact there is a faction (associated with the
"mutt" client that I use) that holds that all email clients suck (but
their favorite sucks the least).

I think that if you can compose your soul in patience for some while,
Mozilla Thunderbird (which is not yet to its 0.1 release, but is based
on the current email client embedded in Mozilla) will be an excellent
client for you.  For me, a non-GUI client is a necessity so that I can
move from message to message instantly, delete messages as fast as I
can strike the "d" key, etc. etc.
