I tried (every now and then) to set up mutt, but have failed to make it work 
as I would like to with gpg and s/mime certificates.  Perhaps if I had more 
time to spend to configure it I would make it work as I want it.

Meanwhile, I've frozen kdepim at 4.4 but I fear that I may have to kiss it 
good bye for good.  I'm waiting to see if the 
http://www.trinitydesktop.org/about.php will offer something that I can switch 
to as a KDEPIM suite only (I don't use the full KDE desktop, just selected 
applications).

Last time I looked Pan was a newsreader, are you saying that it also works as 
a mail client?
