I have had Kolab up and running successfully, and I was wondering what folks 
are using for a client. 

I have tried a couple and wanted to post some opinions and get some feedback. 
Thus far, I have tried

KMail:
Pros
o  Very nice GPG integration (though I'm still trying to make heads or tails 
of the crypto plugins)
o  Nice interface

Cons
o  Manual filter application is making me crazy.
o  Doesn't handle spam very gracefully (I'm using Ian's HOWTO) yet. I'm still 
working this issue. Spamassassin works, but I haven't yet found a way to 
filter.
o  Filtering is pretty basic. Filter on to/from/subject/mailing list
o  Cannot create folders on the IMAP server.

Aethera:
Pros
o  Very nice interface.
o  Summary includes weather plugin.
o  Fairly intuitive Kolab integration

Cons
o  No kind of crypto plugins, that I have yet found.
o  Filtering still pretty basic, to/from/cc/to+cc/body. Getting better, but if 
you want to filter on spam headers, it gets more difficult.
o  Will not create folders on the IMAP server.

Just out of curiosity, what is everyone else using? Is there a mail client 
that addresses some if these issues? If not, what workarounds are you all 
using?

TIA,
