I use wanderlust. It interacts with Org-mode pretty well. See back on
topic :).  I used to use VM, but at the time (a few years ago), the
imap was a bit of an afterthought.  Some people like mew, I think it
is a bit simpler than wanderlust if you don't need the offline
features of wanderlust.  A very new contender is notmuch, but IMHO, it
is not quite ready for general use.
