My email inbox has limited memory. I would like to set my email client to download (and then delete from server) emails that are older than ... say ... 10 months. I use Sylpheed with IMAP right now; willing to change to a different email client if another client can help me manage my inbox better.

If I change computers, will I need to import the emails to Sylpheed (or Thunderbird, etc) specifically or can I pick up and continue with a different email client? Once old emails are downloaded (say with Sylpheed), can I identify and view emails with a text editor or word processor? I guess that there's no advantage to being able to open emails with a text editor if I can import those email files to a new email client right?


Also let's say that one day I decide to learn how to use encrypted email. Does Sylpheed support this? Is there an email client that's easier or better for encrypted email than others?
