The problem I find is that most people want a GUI that does everything
Netscape does, but don't want to use Netscape.  I like mutt (and is what
I use for my business mail), but if you are using POP mail, it doesn't
allow for filtering directly, you have to use fetchmail and procmail to
do filtering, AFAIK.  I might be wrong.

I want to see Eudora for Linux.

I still use Netscape for my personal mail because I haven't found
anything "clean" (or finished/polished) enough to do everything I want
(filtering, threading, decent spell checking, easy to set up and change,
good address book, mailbox compression, etc...).  I still don't know of
a good client that has the ability to check multiple POP accounts anlong
with all the above.

kMail is supposed to be working on all these features, but...
