I too miss mutt, and firefox...

The KDE meta package seems to work, but takes a long time to
compile (around four-five hours).  Its browser and e-mail client
seems to work (but I haven't actuallt used Kmail since I do
all my e-mailing on an external account).  The GL modules of
xscreensaver does not work (glu problems I think), but all of
xlockmore does.

I'm a Vi person, so I don't really know about Office packages
and weird stuff like that.  And I'm happy if my machine beeps at
me occasionally, so audio is somehting that I don't spend much
time thinking about.

... and I'll probably move back to fvwm2 or twm as soon as I've
grown tired of fiddling with all those kde settings.  That
shouldn't take too long.

The 'mail' command works (it's in the base system), as does the
links-gui package (doesn't handle web page layouts very well,
but I don't mind).

amd64 is still an experimental port, so I'm not too worried
about software support right now.  I can do all I need to do.
