The best combination, at least for me, is pine at the command line and TkRat
(aka Ratatosk) or its derivative postilion (basically an OpenStep-ified
version of TkRat) when I'm GUI.  I have tons of mail folders and .procmail
scripts, etc. and the transition back and forth between the two clients is
transparent.
