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. HTH, - Damion
