Hi, Dan

KMail meets the above requirements.  You'll need to install QT and some of
KDE to make it run, but you can use it under Gnome.

The only reason I don't use it for my main mail account (this one) is that
it doesn't support HTML messages, and people keep thinking that everyone
lives in a Microsoft or Netscape world and keeps sending me hateful,
bandwidth chomping messages with their ideas of pretty formatting.  Yuck!

Take care,
Caity
