I use Claws-Mail.

http://www.claws-mail.org/

A simple GTK 2 interface, extremely stable, very fast, and does the job really well.

I am a GNU/Linux user and specifically a Plasma 5 desktop user. Due to that fact, I am partial to KMail/Kontact. However, several years ago, back in the KDE 3-4 transition, I lost data with Kontact in one of the upgrades. Since then, I began to use Claws-Mail and while I miss that smooth Plasma integration afforded by Kontact, Claws-Mail's reliability is legendary.

Claws Mail now manages my inbox, with several gigabytes and going back to a lot of years, without hiccups. And that's the best part. The Linux version builds fast and cleandly; and for cross-platform convenience, it has a Windows version. Recommended.

EDIT: seconded what others said about K-9 Mail in Android. Great app, and my go-to place for email in my phone. Also highly recommended.
