Not everyone has a public IP address with suitable DNS handling for
every machine where they might want to read their email.

What do you mean by 'properly'? This works for me:
http://www.novell.com/documentation/evolution24/index.html?page=/documentation/evolution24/evolution24/data/usage-mail-getnsend-read.html,
although I've been using thunderbird more lately, which also does
threads but is a little slower to switch back and forth between
threaded/unthreaded views and I usually view sorted by timestamp and
switch to threaded only when I've forgotten the earlier part of the
conversation.
