That's all one usually needs but Evolution doesn't help.
Which is why I said 'thanks for the warning'. I was going to try Kmail,
but I'm told (by staff at my ISP) that the new version is not an improvement on the old one - quite the reverse in their opinion.
I quite like claws. Clean and simple. Tbird seems to be getting a bit bloated. Evolution is horrible IMO.

Claws looks interesting! Could be a candidate replacement for my trusty and well-beloved XFMail (no longer supported, sadly).
XFMail was one of the few GUI mail clients that I liked, as you say though, no longer supported - I seem to remember it had a sort of half-hearted rebirth but even when I was looking a few years ago it was moribund.
I'm pleased to note that its standard mailbox format is MH!
One question (apparently not covered in the info on the Claws website):
Can Claws simultaneously open two or more emails in separate windows? This is important for me (and the reason I was led to XFMail in the first place), since I often compose mails using material from other emails, so I need to have these others on-screen at the same time.
My answer to that is two instances of mutt in two windows.
