Yeah, Modest is slated as an eventual replacement for the built-in e-mail, and has a comparable feature set, but with less bugs. Claws Mail is just a port of the desktop version -- love it or hate it, it's no lightweight, simple, mobile mail client. I see it as overkill (I'll just use GMail's web interface for anything Modest can't do), but Modest seems quite sane, and, (whatever your preferences), less buggy than the built-in.
