I have always liked Calypso considering all the security features and flexibility. Improve it, guys. You're doing a great job already. Keep up the good work. Make it as good as Calypso.
Application constantly improving.
Balsa has improved recently a lot in terms of stability and features. It has still some issues and rough sides but I think it is best gnome mail client available.
