Try balsa. Really.
I used to really like evolution but (no offense to the evolution  
people) for me it has just been getting worse and worse - so I ditched  
it and went to balsa, and while it has a few quirks of its own - it  
generally has been a much more pleasurable experience for me.

I'm not using FC3 balsa, I'm using the spec file from FC3 balsa but  
building it with a newer (by one version) balsa tarball (and newer  
gmime version).

It's a faster startup, smaller app, works well.
