Mutt is great in the TUI department. You must do some acrobatics regarding different configuration files if you use more than one account.

Aerc (TUI) is also fine. It supports multiple accounts natively, but you can't move messages from one account to another (that I know of). I find the interface a little kludgy.

But everybody and their dog is sending HTML mail these days, and though both programs do their best to convert to text / use the alternative plain text format, you always have the sinking feeling that you are missing something (and sometimes you really are missing something).

Thunderbird is OK. It has its annoyances, but it's solid, multi-account, and supports everything. Sometimes it starts burning all my CPU cores at 100% and I don't know why, it's probably doing some garbage collection or whatever.

Evolution (GUI) is also kinda fine, but it's GNOME, and you may not like that. It's heavy.

Claws Mail (GUI) is also OK. It's lighter than Evolution or Thunderbird, but in the past it did something wrong that annoyed me and that I cannot remember and I stopped using it.

I also remember using Kmail (KDE) more 15 years ago and it was also OK, but a bit sluggy.
