Also gnus. It's very nice once it's working and it's fine to get it set
up if you're good at that sort of thing or have a few spare weeks. The
manual is extremely comprehensive and pretty funny but basically
horrifying. The summary buffer containing news/emails will look awful to
start off with but it is possible to make it look nice (e.g. the
wikipedia screenshot) by configuring gnus-summary-line-format and (if
not in a terminal) by using non-ascii arrow characters to represent
threads e.g.

  (setq gnus-sum-thread-tree-vertical        "│")
  (setq gnus-sum-thread-tree-leaf-with-other "├─► ")
  (setq gnus-sum-thread-tree-single-leaf     "╰─► "))
