Okay, so Evolution Mail and Calendar is Good Software, too

http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/download.shtml

People hate Evolution because it's a bit of an annoyance as far as
performance goes. While the performance issues are a bit of an
annoyance, I can't say it's worse because it has them.

And frankly, it integrates nicely with GNOME and so it isn't too ugly.
You could try it, too.

Alpine is good software

https://www.washington.edu/alpine/

Some good software. It's a out-of-your-way little email client, which is nice for me considering that I keep my email open all the time but rarely peek at it. I'd prefer not to get any notifications when I get new email, but rather to check my email and see that I have email. Usually I do that around every five minutes, and this software is nice for that.

Of course, my Windows friends can't run it, because Microsoft doesn't like people being able to compile software, but that's not that much of a problem. I doubt anyone actually follows any of my software recommendations beyond anyone in my group of friends, but it's a fun bit of software and that is all.
