Instructive side story: I once installed Linux on a CPU-challenged
machine (486/133Mhz) for a friend and teached her to use Mutt. Later
she bought a faster PC, I upgraded everything to KDE and so on and then
suggested to install a "real" email client with a GUI. She vehemently
forbid that I did this with: "Don't take away my mail program, I'm
really used to it now and know all keyboard shortcuts." I never
expected this.

Better use Mutt, it sucks less.
In all seriousness, all the non elm/mutt apps I've used dont let me go
though my mail quickly enough. The ability to switch inboxes, delete big
swathes of threads I dont care about and save sutff I do it vital to me.
