For KDE there is Aethera (www.thekompany.com) but it doesn't do mbox
spools just POP and IMAP. For GNOME there is Evolution (www.ximian.com)
but that requires lots of development libraries and stuff (all linked from
the site however). Evolution is coming along nicely, but still WAAAAY too
buggy for my liking.

So I'm using Pine.
