I hadn't heard of Balsa up until this thread. It's minimalistic. I like it. But it too fails to satisfy the PGP requirement for filtering and encrypting existing mail.

I don't think I have much more to add. Sure, GMail uses labels instead of folders and emulates the latter in IMAP but that's totally irrelevant, so long as said "categories" are available to the mail client. Most email clients can be configured to sync either just mail headers or entire emails for the last X number of days (or all mail). So, at the very least, being able to have an "extended" threaded view (e.g. by means of a virtual folder - just like a unified inbox) so to speak that combines emails from both Inbox and Sent seems rather trivial and could be done whenever (re)indexing subscribed folders. BCC'ing myself or having both sent and incoming mail in one mailbox is a workaround - not a solution. It's neither elegant nor should it be necessary to achieve the above behaviour. KMail so far comes as close as it gets (from what I've seen) to customising threading and appearance of email listing though it too can't combine multiple folders. Anyway, as I said, the PGP and standalone (or exportable) config to me are more important in a mail client. "Conversation" view is more of a desirable feature rather than something I can't live without. - V
