if you want a graphical mail client, i'd suggest Icedove aka Thunderbird
by the Mozilla team.  I'm a mutt user mostly myself, but I used Icdove
for several years at work (i switched back to mutt there last year
because i changed jobs and was reading mail mostly over ssh sessions
rather than directly from my desktop)....it works quite nicely and
has a useful range of plugins available like iceweasel (my favourite
is External Editor which allows me to use gvim to edit messages that
require more than a quick & short reply).
