I've been using Opera's Mail client. It is a no nonsense mail client with  
support for all above and it integrates with Opera itself obviously. It is  
closed source and not in the official repo's but you can find it in AUR.
When TB3 came out I've tried to switch in combination with uzbl or firefox  
and kick the last closed source app off my laptop. But TB3 is terrible  
imho. I've also tried Claws/Sylpheed for a while but that interface is so  
spartan and I don't know if it has NNTP support.
In the end you should try at least Opera and Claws to see which fits your  
needs.
