I agree with you Corvin. Things are developing well but what is lacking is a goud gui MUA. Without it the rate of Linux adoption will be severely hampered.
I myself used Linux part time for 12 months before I took the leap to full-time. The only issue for the last 9-10 months of that time was the e-mail client.

Having said that people's comments about Mutt and its' power are tempting me to take a look at it.
