I'm currently using claws mail, and while it is good there are still a
couple of things I dislike.

One thing you can try if you're not afraid to get your hands dirty is
'notmuch' (http://notmuchmail.org/) in combination with one of its UIs.
There are a few, the emacs and mutt UIs are most likely the most mature
ones, but there are a couple of others.
