Query: best mail reader for Linux netbooks

[mdlbear]

I'm an old bear, and rather set in my ways. But now that Colleen has an Ubuntu-based netbook, we're looking for a good mail reader.

Requirements:

• Gnome or, preferably, desktop-independent. She doesn't use KDE.
• Must be able to handle multiple POP and IMAP accounts.
• Not too complex.

Another possibility would be to suck everything down using fetchmail, but she would still need a good mail reader. Feel free to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of fetchmail you have an opinion on it.

Hmm, Hubby says that Evolution comes with Ubuntu, and he says that Thunderbird from Mozilla are the basics. I am not so Linux friendly yet, but am working on it...*sheepish grin* 'Cause I am NOT so fond of Vista Premium (on my lappy) or MS's monopolizing tactics.
