    Both Sylpheed and Sylpheed-claws have IMAP support that's just as
sucky as Evolution, a little worse in many cases. I tried the latest of
both yesterday, and they fail to indicate new mail in folders until you
actually open them. This with both UW-IMAP and Dovecot. 
    Also, I have enough folders that it brings Sylpheed to its knees. It
doesn't multithread, so screen refreshes stop for more than a minute
while it's scanning. At least Evolution does that far better.
    I'm very disappointed with Linux's gui email offerings. I've heard
good things about Thunderbird, so I might try that. 

    Mike, sending from trusty Mutt...
