Hear hear!  I'll put a vote in for mutt - I combo it with server side
IMAP filtering through sieve, and poof - everything is sorted into
folders (and spam is tossed out).

Plus, I can flag messages, it notes which ones I've responded to/read,
sign/encrypt my messages, sort/search *very* quickly through mail (and
yes, you can search through just tagged or flagged messages, even
using regexps if desired).  Heck, I even have it use different .sigs
depending on who I'm replying to.

And as long as I have ssh, I can get to my mail as I'd like it
configured.
