exmh I use. It is an X-based front end to mh. I have thousands of mail in about 40 folders right now. I like seeing message titles/date/author above and the messages below. Perhaps since no one else has mentioned exmh, it might have a flaw. For example, since it is based on mh, one could alter

I would like to suggest that you split the retrieval/sorting/filtering duties from the Email client (MUA). You can use fetchmail to download all your email from multiple accounts. Then you use smail/procmail or exim to sort and deliver it locally. Then, all your MUA has to do is be able to

Unfortunately, this would eliminate the major advantage of IMAP. I read my mail from two different locations (home and work) and up to 5 different computers. Storing the mail locally really isn't an option, although I suppose I could make *copies* of it instead of moving it from the
