Agreed

This is a complete and in many ways unique eMail client. I ran through just
about every one listed in X11 / Email, Arrow was the only one that passed
every test. At first it seems a little odd - but give it a try and get used
to the layout. It's actually quite straight forward once you get the hang
of it.
To those who are rummaging through all the clients out there, this is
definitely worth a try.

Well worth trying

Stayed up most of the night installing and testing mail readers (after
discovering that KDE's kmail occassionally loses mail, needed a replacement
fast for several workstations). Of all the mail readers that were listed on
Freshmeat, Arrow looks the most different - different enough to put me off
on the first pass. But after trying a number of others that looked more
like the standard model (a half-dozen at least look just like kmail!), and
watching them fail to compile, crash, show immediate bugs (including
trouble reading standard mail boxes for several), took a 2nd look at Arrow,
and discovered it looks different because it's real engineering rather
another knock-off of a tired old interface. After a half-hour learning
curve, it's the most pleasant mail reader I've used in 17 years online.
