I too am a long-time tkrat user. It works, and does most of the
things that well mannered text-mode MUAs doo, and some of the
things that graphical ones do too. It is pretty ugly, and the
user interface has some problems. I'm going to try postillion,
though. Thanks for that reference, group.

I think that it can, but I don't use that. I use an external
filtering script along with my qmail configuration for that. To
my mind the MUA is the _wrong_ place to be doing pre-sorting,
simply because I use many different MUAs in different places,
and I want the pre-filtering done before _any_ of them see my
mailboxes.

Yes.
Big advantage of TkRat for me is that it speaks IMAP
more-or-less fluently. I've moved _all_ of my mail folders to a
courier-imap maildir-based setup (700M in 29000 messages), which
gives me equal access to everything from:
Mutt in a local xterm, telnet/ssh window or dial-up.
Mozilla/Netscape on Unix or Windows from across the network.
Windows exchange-things, networked.
TkRat on Unix, local.
I am still on the lookout for the perfect MUA. Mozilla is
getting close, but it's too fragile and slow in general, and too
painful/klunky for wading through high-traffic mailing lists.
Mutt rules, there.
