They differ in terms of usability and stability, they all feel crappy, uncomfortable, unreliable, made of poor plastic... If you still have ancient Nokia try only the feeling of their physical keys, the simplicity of their classic menu comp

I'd like to have my mail on my computer, so a local maildir... In the past I've used pine and tried neomutt, while far better than classic Thunderbird/Evolution etc I do not feel much at home with them... I'm at home now

Well... Unix bring the idea of being a "base platform" for third party software using simple IPC as a way to integrate any different kind of software. This work well in many case, but can't really scale so I consider UNIX mod
