Balsa
 Balsa is an e-mail
client for GNOME,
highly configurable and incorporating
all the features you would expect in a robust mail client.
Balsa has a graphical front end, support for MIME attachments
incoming and outgoing, as well as directly supports POP3 and IMAP
protocols. It also
has a spell checker and direct support for PGP and GPG for encryption.
It has some basic filtering capabilities, and natively supports several
e-mail storage protocols. It also has some internationalization
support, including Japanese fonts.
The Balsa message editor is simple, but competent for
composing clean and properly formatted plain text messages.
