There is no such thing as a "superior mail client." The best mail client 
is the one which works like you do. My preference is Mozilla Suite's 
mail client because T-bird has dropped a few features, and I despise the 
interface icons. I'd use Seamonkey, but I can't get a stable package for 
CentOS. It disappears off the screen the way Mozilla used to back before 
1.4.

I'd probably use Pine & Joe even more, but it won't do multiple accounts 
without a lot of cranky work-arounds. Also, I can't get my MTA to speak 
to my primary mail server, since my machine uses an IP on a preventive 
blocklist (home DSL IP space is routinely blocked on many lists).

I rather like Opera's mail client, but it's missing a few control 
features I need.

Again, it all depends on how you work, what matters to you.
