I've recently switched from exmh2 to sylpheed-claws.  sylpheed is gtk based
and has all of the stuff I've wanted for some time:

  o Good IMAP support (including SSL and the ability to read other peoples
    mail boxes)
  o Seamless cutover from (n)mh based clients such as exmh - well, I had to
    rewrite my filters.
  o The ability to configure/use more than one from address.
  o Good filtering support.

I've been switching mail over to IMAP... all pretty seamlessly and without
any disasters (well, so far!).

Paul, your pgp sigs are still showing up as BAD according to the key on
