Been in the same boat since being forcibly downsized a few years ago, w/ spousal unit and I now sharing a laptop. So, since she was using Apple Mail before the crunch, I've been using Mozilla's Thunderbird, thanks to some good folks around here awhile back. It ain't the slickest piece of work I've ever seen, but it's free, and does a decent job. There are a few/several interface "features" I'd change, but it's functional enough for the most part. I doubt I'd be able to teach the old ball & chain how to use it in any kind of reasonable time frame (like before I croak), so the path of least resistance was to use it myself.
The large scrollable inbox, and sorting criteria were the biggies for me, too, and that's what sealed the deal. I also have over 50 sub-folders, and while T-Bird has a mind of its own over organizing them, after a few months of fighting w/ it, you can eventually tame that beast; read that to mean, re-creating, and reorganizing things when the program tries to help you, but the implementation is not what you desired.
Good luck.
