This is the (edited) description from a recent debian package:

Package: elmo
Installed-Size: 544
Version: 1.3.0-1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libgcc1
(>= 1:3.3.3-1), libgpg-error0 (>= 0.7) , libgpgme11 (>=
0.4.5-1), libssl0.9.7, libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.3-1)

Description: text-based mail-reader supporting SMTP and POP3 Elmo
is a feature-rich console mail client for UN*X power users. It
integrates functionality commonly realized by separate pieces of
software in other mailers.

Visit http://elmo.sourceforge.net for more details.

Looks like it does SSL/TLS (needed for gmail, for example).

And it would be very stable if it's on the debian stable
list, as this one is.
