Outlook Express? ;-)

As usual, my recommendation is mutt. It supports IMAP internally, and
multiple roles is as easy as mutt -F <rcfilename>. Filtering is best left
to procmail, with its advanced mailbox locking mechanisms and powerful
eregex based rules. Mutt supports somewhat primitive filtering via its
message scoring system - lookup score* in the manual.

Now we come to ldap - one of mutt's lesser known functions is query
(default binding to 'Q'). From mutt's manual:

query                      Q   query external program for addresses

All it takes is a simple script to use ldapsearch (part of
openldap RPM) and get any addresses that you want. See man ldapsearch
and ldapsearchprefs.conf for details.
