I have my wife using Netscape Mail. It isn't the best, but it's fairly user friendly, simple to set up, and is the same across platforms. Netscape 4.x isn't as pretty as Mozilla 1.x or Netscape 6.x (or 7), but all do the trick. Looks alright under any window manager (heck, she's using fluxbox), and does IMAP/POP.
