For MS Windows, I use FreeAgent.  It has the advantage over MS Outlook
that you can *not* get any of these VBA-based (VBA = Visual Basic for
Applications, integrated into many MS products as a macro language)
virus emails that are popping up.  I think (don't know for sure) that
Netscape Messenger also has that advantage.

No clue for X on Linux, sorry.  In command-line (not X) mode, I have
used tin.  When/if Netscape Messenger is ported, that might also be an
option, though it isn't there yet.

HTH.
