Hi Ken,

Have you tried Evolution?  Its the best, IMNSHO.  The latest version has
all the features you mention including:

  - multiple pop/imap servers each with different configs
  - emacs/Xemacs keybindings for composing
  - good integration with browsers such as Galeon and Mozilla
  - as-you-type speeel chekun
  - integrated handling of GPG/PGP signing and encryption
  - cool virtual folders (eg. dynamically search ALL your your 
      different mail folders at once)

I transitioned from Mozilla (which has a decent email client) to
Evolution more than a year ago and, at that time, the mbox-file import
feature didn't work well so I wrote my own shell script to import all
the folders.  Though I haven't used it, I've heard that their mbox-
import feature works better now.  If not, I can explain their layout
which isn't difficult to create given the netscape mbox files.

So give it a try!

Ed
