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).
All the GUI clients I have tried in days gone by have assumed mail comes from a POP3 server and/or munge the local mail spool with specialised indexes etc. that break it for other (better behaved) clients.
It doesn't even have to be a Linux program as my Win2k machine has access to the mail on the Linux box.
Since you are going to be running an IMAP server for your Squirrel webmail why not use an IMAP client? Many clients support IMAP, although not all do it very well (Sylpheed for example is very poor - although I'll no doubt get shot down for that comment by fans, I usually do!). Mozilla/Thunderbird are what I've used most in the IMAP area (including Netscape which is where I started with IMAP in the mid 90s or thereabouts), and I'm currently using Evolution, which is quite nice, but a monster of an application requiring 80M of download on Debian if you don't have Gnome installed (well it was on my system), it also has a raft of processes running in the background.
