Thunderbird's alright.  Of course you'll get mozilla anti-fanboys telling

I do like KDE, but it's hard to talk about their apps without sounding
like you're stuttering. :-)

I also use KNode and find it excellent.

additional question:

which reader lets you select a view in which the threads are sorted by the 
date of the newest post in them?

I might as well add Pan, as that is what I use :)

I love mozilla but thunderbird is to bulky, I don't need a mail client 
too. Same goes for Evolution. I want it separate from my browser. And 
never heard of knode.
