Knode is for KDE but it is the best I have used so far. You can also
try Pan for Gnome (I heard it is the best) or you can try the new Opera
browser that has this feature included in the mail module (along many
other features – I recommend downloading the preview deb package of
Opera 10.5 from http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/snapshot-6317/ which is
usable as a browser too and is as fast/faster than Chromium (it uses
more memory though).
