Evolution
After a few months of dealing with the enormous suckage that is Outlook Express, I've discovered a reason to install Linux: the Ximian Evolution Email client.
The key useful feature, for me, are vFolders (virtual folders), which are customized views of your email based on rulesets. You want a folder that shows you all the email from Jim? Create a vFolder rule based on his address. How about a vFolder that contains all the email from the people in Hosting? Create a vFolder rule that includes all of their addresses. Better yet, emails can exist in multiple folders at once.
And yes, it's a free download, and it works with Microsoft Exchange Server, if you're unfortunate enough to have to use one.

I still love PINE but for Evolution is a beautiful and powerful thing.
