If she would be happy with text only, I would say pine (now
re-re-labeled as "alpine"). I suspect that the people with whom she most
wants to exchange mail are not limited to text, so that's likely to be a
solution.
You might look at the mail component of seamonkey. Mail isn't really
simple these days, and hopefully she isn't going to have problems with UCE.
alpine and seamonkey have packages.
