Good choices.  And Emacs packages like VM (mail) and Gnus (mail/news)
deserve mention. :-)

The choice of which e-mail client to use can be influenced by IMAP.
Pine's IMAP support often gets higher marks than other clients.  I
don't know how Mutt's is nowadays but it was pretty minimal at one
time (sort of like "POP over IMAP", a fairly common implementation).
