My all time favorite is PMMail, but since I don't use OS/2 anymore...

For Linux I use Icedove, mainly because I haven't taken the time to explore other options.

If they'd port PMMail to Linux I'd actually pay money for it.

I played around with Claws, but went back to Icedove/Thunderbird. There were things I'd grown so used to in Thunderbird that Claws did differently, that I was constantly annoyed with it. Thunderbird works so well that I don't even have to think about it. Unfortunately, I have had it crash several times since the last update. It hasn't happened in about a week, Though.

I run claws-mail by default unless on low end setups where the Seamonkey suit it is by far the lightest graphical set up once you include a browser. I've found the difference between firefox and thunderbird and pure Seamonkey enormous.

I'll qualify that by saying I don't tend to run any QT applications but would be surprised if anything running QT4 > is lighter

I've found sylspheed to be the lightest stand alone gui but not much in it over claws when you don't use plugins

Question: What is your favorite Email Client?
Answer: None.

Huge bloated email clients that make many assumptions as to what I do with my emails are not for me. I remember a few times when I installed an email client but I always ended up removing it altogether. I am one who doesn't like to have my emails saved locally on my computer.

A simple email client for me would be one that mimics webmail without too many features apart from mail search, mail writing and mail viewing.
