Thunderbird currently meets all my needs, but it occasionally freezes. 
I've manually deleted all index files and compacted all folders, but I 
don't think the freeze is due to a corrupted mbox folder. Converting 
from mbox to maildir would eliminate the mbox issue. I considered 
Evolution, but I didn't like it the last time I evaluated email clients. 
I used Claws for a while, but I do like to send html email to some lists 
and people.
