+1 from me on Thunderbird .. been using on Windows and Linux for many years
now, and apart from the occasional crash (usually caused by PEBKAC and
inconsistencies elsewhere) it's been solid for about 5 email accounts on a
variety of servers, inc SSL.

Filtering is pretty good, albeit not flawless .. if you want to go
hardcore, others have mentioned imapfilter and procmail, but the basics are
well-covered in Tbird.

Best,
Michael/veremitz.
