No, not at all.
You didn't specify POP or IMAP.
Isn't it irrelevant?
As a mail user, that really should not matter to me.
For a GUI environment:
1. IMAP only, I would wager the web browser, open standards based, as
the most versatile MUA. Many service providers have integrated email
and other features into the UI within the browser. Being server based,
adding features is easier.
I dunno why but whenever I think of e-mail I forget the web browser. But
most people are comfortable with it I guess.
2. IMAP/POP - on the Linux desktop, I use Kontact (KMail plus more). It
has all the features I need including RSS feeds.
On the Linux console, mutt.
I was definitely looking for how many mutt responses I would get.
