I think it is an okay mail reader, but not my first choice.  My 
impression is that it is a good emulation of outlook, so if you already 
know all the outlook keystrokes, etc, it will feel similar.  I kept 
finding that it annoyed me.  I prefer kmail for an outlook-like mailer.  
I really prefer the emacs vm package.

Evolution does have nice integration with all the other PIM stuff.  
Kmail isn't there, yet, though I understand it is moving rapidly in 
that direction.  Evolution also has the advantage that you can pay and 
get support for MSExchange.
