Applix Mail is a horrible thing in an otherwise OK package.  There are,
however, a number of mail clients for *nix that are in the same class as
ones available for other platforms.  They have, however, a couple of
drawbacks (which one, or both, depends on the package).  Those drawbacks
are:

1) Some of the best [1] ones are not free [2]

2) They are typically single-byte only (usually, just English).

As a jumping-off point, go to the TLUG links page and check out Web
Wanderer's Linux Application Page (or something to that effect; it's
there).  Also check Freshmeat periodically, of course.

Cheers,

Jonathan



[1] "Best" is defined here as meeting the ease-of-use/interface quality
you want.

[2]  "Not free" as in they cost money and aren't open source.
