I use Gnus for my news and mail and I'm really happy with it. Today I
don't know how I could read my mail without it. Gnus is actively
maintained. For more information visit [1] and [2].
Beside the mail clients you mentioned there's another one which seems
to be quite good - Wanderlust [3]. I never used it, so look for more
information on its homepage (if you're able to read japanese ;-) ).

HTH,
