In the Openwindows distribution there is an X/Openlook version of mailtool
that I use under olwm.

You might also consider mush (mail user's shell) which is available on the
net. This provides a termcap interface which is useable which, although
lacking the same windowing interface of "mailtool", has many nice features
of it's own that make it worth considering.
