kmail comes with YDL and works quite nicely for me, can use multiple pop/imap
accounts though if you use a mac.com account you will want to not use their
smtp server as it uses an authentication process that is not yet supported in
kmail. kmail also has filters which makes it nice for me as well as the
multiple account support.
