Yes.

Also I use offlineimap which syncs back and forth to a local Maildir folder
structure.

This is compatible with many clients but also allows you to use a local
imap daemon
which can be faster for access (caching, indexing for searching speedups
etc).

I use the Maildir patches for alpine as this is slightly faster than direct
IMAP access
it also doesn't need you to auth with anything, as offlineimap is doing
that.
