That is actually the area, in which a non-caching client (pine, mutt) is 
playing well, if there is a stable connection to the server.

Some time ago, I read an article about the following setup:

1) external mail server - no matter which
2) local Dovecot and MTA - actually on some notebook or behind some slow 
link
3) a cron job that performs a two-way sync with the external server, if 
the link available
4) the user works locally only
