mutt! (Score:1)

I just stay away from the X clients all together and use mutt [mutt.org]. Its extremly powerful and all you need is to ssh into the box to check your mail. You can even try IMAP over SSL so all your mail stays in once place so you don't get duplicate copies and stuff.
Just giving you some other options so you don't have to rely on getting X forwarding working just to check mail. (for example if you visit a friend on vacation and they just have windows 98 and AOL, you just need to grab a win ssh client like putty to log in manage your mail)
