I use plain old ELM in an nxterm.  I've tried exmh, and while it is superior
in nearly every way, it stores every message as a separate file and creates
mailboxes by linking to the files in creative ways.  This is probably
reasonable enough once you get used to it, but personally I much prefer
ELM's option to creating a number of flat files, one for each incoming user. 
I don't know, I just like to store messages in single files - it makes it a
lot easier to browse through my mail using other utilities such as text
editors.

Cheers,
