I've used KMail (5 years ago -- well, I was young and masochistic),
mutt for some time, then Mozilla Messenger -- I quit using Mozilla 
Messenger because I really don't like it's quoting behavior. 

Right now I'm using Gnus in XEmacs, and I'm 99% satisfied.
The exciting thing about Gnus is that it is so highly configurable
and extensible through eLisp -- I also like editing in XEmacs
(vi mode is available when I'm in the mood :-) ). 
The IMAP performance is good. 

The only disadvantage is its inferior handling of HTML emails (it uses
[x]emacs' "w3" for rendering), but I'm getting less and less of these
and since I don't like HTML in emails anyway, this is not an issue at
all.
