You could give the build-in email client of Opera - M2 a try (pop3, imap,
rss, atom, newsgroup support). It saves emails only once, has very nice
filters, auto-identifies mailing lists. Unread messages have their own
folder, once read they go to the correct view. All messages are indexed
and saved in a database. Find-as-you-type is very nice and fast.

Active contacts/threads are put in a seperate view, so they can be found
easily. Sort/search by label you have given to an email or by attachment.
etc.

Just take a look here and test it yourself:

BUT one thing is missing and might be the 'showstopper' for you, SMIME/PGP.
Hopefully this will be added in the near future, since they have already
changed the client a bit for Opera version 9.0.

Right now M2 is a good cross-plattform email client, when PGP will finally
be added it should be a _very_ good one.
