Which I really loved, despite it's shortcomings. :-) Kmail was the closest I could find on Linux, and over the years I've looked at Thunderbird, Evolution, Sylpheed/claws, etc, and they all suck by comparison. A big deal breaker for me is maildir support... having previously been burned with an mbox (think it was a newsgroup reader on Win 3.1 many years ago), and seeing windows users have major issues with their "everything in one file" mail system. From a design point of view that's just screaming for something to go wrong. At least with maildir, if you get a bad sector, you lose one file, not the whole mailbox... Also I prefer to read mail plaintext, with the option to view HTML for those people (corporates!) that insist on sending everything in HTML sans plaintext... View source is also very handy... especially compared to the hoops that Outlook users have to jump through.
