Actually, I've just switched to Evolution, as I was getting fed up with mutt's misbehaviour. I have to say, I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for a decent GUI Outlook-style mail client. Aside from a few annoying crashes (hey, it *is* beta), it's a very nice package.
I particularly like the absurdly easy to configure mail filtering. Goodbye procmail, you won't be missed!
Well, while people are recommending stupid email clients, I'll just mention that Gnus does everything you could ever possibly wish for in a mail client, including indexed mail spools (for fast searching, no database server required), write-and-forget automatic mail filtering (such silliness as auto-creation of new folders is possible), adaptive scoring (watches what you read and scores up and down as needed) and of course off-line newsgroup reading from multiple servers. The price for this power is a bit of extra effort to set the damn thing up. If you know (X)Emacs already, it will help.
As with all mail clients though, back up your mail before trying it ;-)
