Don, I think you'll really like mutt once you get the hang of it.  I
used it as my sole email client for several years.  I think you'll find
some good stuff here: http://www.elho.net/mutt/maildir/  If you're using
Maildir you'll want this line in your ~/.muttrc: set mbox_type=Maildir

Once you get the hang of the command line you can do anything (barring
graphic design ;) quicker and easier.
