Mailsmith 2.2 beta universal
Mailsmith is an old-school, text-only email client from Bare Bones (of BBEdit and Yojimbo fame), that has long had a cadre of devoted users, but which has also really been showing its age of late (version 2.1.5 was released in March 2005). Yesterday, however, Bare Bones' Rich Siegel announced a public beta of Mailsmith 2.2 that brings the application into the Intel age as well as adding a variety of other changes, including substantial changes to disk storage formats which preclude downgrading back to 2.1. Siegel emphasizes that 2.2 is not yet for sale and is completely unsupported, but if you're an old Mailsmith user who moved away in the Intel age you may want to check out the announcement.[Via Daring Fireball]
Update: fixed links to the announcement. Here's a FTP link to the demo of Mailsmith 2.2 (via Hawk Wings)

i don't think those announcement links go where you want them to... seems to be some thread on checking mail...

Mailsmith seems like a cool app - but it's POP only. I don't know why they can't make a text only email client that's IMAP; I'd use this app if it handled IMAP. I gave up POP years ago for a reason... namely portability to other systems and webmail.

Mutt supports IMAP, but SMTP is a bit more difficult.
