Why don't you let Evo look directly at the IMAP server, or clone the IMAP server mail tree locally (there is a program on freshmeat.net to do this, syncmail or something). That way when Evo dies Pine or Netscape can be used to read the mail. My incoming mail comes from a POP3 server which is then put on my local disk by fetchmail, then I run an IMAP server locally so that I can use Evo/Netscape/Pine to read the mail.
