Not defending Thunderbird - but I don't understand your "taking hours to load my Dovecot IMAP". I suppose if you have sync enabled then the first time you connect to a large mailstore there would be an initial download. But...I always disable sync immediately upon setting up accounts in Thunderbird so that's never been an issue for me.

Being unable to prevent downloads or utilize server-side searches is why some other clients have been disappointing for me - like EM Client and Mailbird.

Claws-mail is good, but I have some problems with it. Alpine appears
not to be ready for prime time to act as a window into IMAP. Same with
the rest I've tried.

Why not use thunderbird (or any other IMAP talking client)? :-)

Hi all,

I could really use a file manager or browser to browse my Dovecot
IMAP. Ideally it would have hotkeys to move, copy, delete and send.
The send part needn't be coded: Just a call to a shellscript which
can handle the send the way it's locally the most convenient.

Anyone know of such a file manager or browser for IMAP?
