After trying lots of GUI mail clients, I find pine more than
adequate. It's fast, configurable, and stable. In combination with
fetchmail, and procmail, it enables me to quickly handle hundreds of
messages daily.

I'm a keyboard type, so I find it a lot faster to use shortcut keys than
to keep reaching for the mouse. Mutt also has these advantages, but pine
has an easier learning curve for newbies, so I learned it first. It may
not be as powerful as mutt, but it's Good Enough.

I found pgp4pine <http://pgp4pine.flatline.de/> to be a really good way to
use GnuPG or PGP with pine.
