I use wanderlust. Works well. I have also used gnus in the past (but
just couldn't get comfortable with its world view...).
The only thing I would highlight is that, in my experience, emacs
based MUAs are slow (say in comparison with mutt) and don't function
well with mailboxes with, say, 5000 messages. I've moved to a "0 size
mailbox" approach to handling my email (which works well with org and,
in fact, requires org to work at all really) so this is not an issue
for me.
HTH.
