If you are looking for a lightweight mail app, I recommend either
sylpheed (http://sylpheed.good-day.net/) or balsa
(http://balsa.gnome.org/ - depends on gnome though). I used to use them
when I would attempt to use a gui mailer - usually lasted about 24 hours
before I was back with mutt :)
As for other apps, it really depends on your needs. Most people seem to
really like gaim (http://gaim.sourceforge.net/), xmms
(http://www.xmms.org), although those are not so much about
productivity. I personally use mostly console apps, such as mp3blaster
and naim, so I cannot offer much more.
