Are there any GUI mail clients that read Linux/Unix mailbox file mail delivery? I use mutt for most of my mail reading but now that I can do all my mail reading on my home machine it would occasionally be useful to read my mail with a GUI mail reader (e.g. for the very occasional HTML mail that says something useful with the HTML, and/or to look at attached pictures).
I've been using KMail for some time now. It supports local mailbox, maildir mailbox and the usual IMAP and POP. With the local mail box, it supports variations on filelocking, including mutt types.

I have been using sylpheed for years now its 1.04 and I have used since early .7 releases at least. Its now a capable client thats fast and very stable, it does not appear to memory leak like evolution (work uses exchange calendering) all it all I think it matches your requirements
It supports local mailbox, maildir mailbox and the usual IMAP and POP3. Secured IMAP and secured POP3, though not exchange calendering.
Sylpheed claws has integration with clam and spam assassin and stuff that I cant be bothered to look at. Only missing thing is a spell check so I bound the external editor to aspell.
