I would have said mutt for the above, but the "nice gui" thing obviously negates mutt from your considerations, which is a shame. > shell interface to same email database for remote access Nasty.

Better off using your ISPs webmail, but then it all comes down to where does the MX for your domain point to, how do you collect mail at the moment, how would you like to collect it in the future, and so on... the advantage to 'nix (not just FreeBSD) is you can do anything you want, any way you want.
