Well, just for the fun of it, let me give my opinion on the mail clients
already mentioned by you:
> Evolution?
I tried this a while ago, and I didn't really like it. That might actually
have been due to the fact that I wanted a mail client and *only* a mail
client. If you want something that goes beyond that and kind of offers the
functionality MS Outlook does, this might indeed be a good choice.

Never tried this under BSD, but I saw this running on a friend's machine under
Windows. Of course, it's basically the Mozilla mail client without Mozilla,
but I kind of liked it. This "intelligent" spam detection thing built into it
looks really good, though I had no chance to play around with my friend's
machine long enough to find out everything there is about it, and I guess I
would filter SPAM on the mailserver whenever possible. ;-)
> Kmail? (Maybe not enough features?)
Actually, that's what I use. Of course, it would depend on quite some things -
you don't need the whole KDE to run it, but QT and kdelibs are the least
you'll have to install before you can install KMail from kdenetwork.
Feature-wise, I guess I'm really happy with it! At least it does what I want
it to and I've not yet found anything I miss. If you want to go with
something more like Outlook or Evolution, I guess KDE's "Kontact" would be
something for you. I only had a short look at it, but I guess a suitable
simplified description would be that it "bundles" KMail and KOrganizer into
something Outlook-like. ;-)
> Balsa/Balsa2?
Hmm, I was using Balsa some three years ago or so. I guess a lot has changed
since than, and I must admit that I don't really remember if I was happy with
it or not. So yeah, I think I won't be able to give my comment on this one.
*g*
Hope that helps ... if not, I hope it was at least entertaining or
something. ;-)
Greetings,
Nils
