I liked the feel of Mulberry, but it had a too many glitches whenever I
tried it.  That company is defunct; people seem to have hopes for it
going open source, I have no idea about that.

One that's high on my to-try list is Mahogany, at
    http://mahogany.sourceforge.net/ 
I'd be interested to hear opinions if anybody is using it.

At this point I'm a steady 'mutt' user (in combination with my own
wonderful mail delivery agent :) ).  Mutt's IMAP implementation is less
than wonderful, though.  But it aligns with my keystroke orientation,
and it has some features for displaying non-text content.  It also has a
reasonably good threading/sorting implementation (tho not perfect) --
threading is essential, IMHO.  And it has several ways of dealing with
reply-to-list.
