I can only recommend things I have reasonably recent experience with.

As far as I recall, when I used it Claws Mail was very good, but had 
poor support for Maildir (unmaintained plugin) and I really wanted to 
have my getmail -> maildrop -> MUA -> MTA -> smart host setup.

Once I got reasonably proficient with mutt (and vim) I just never felt 
the need to go back, even though my current setup (provider IMAP/SMTP 
server only, sorted with imapfilter) doesn't really require it anymore.

The daily horror of using Outlook at work probably doesn't help either.

And then there's the equivalent of https://xkcd.com/1782/

Andrei
