Wha...? Alpine/Pine have implemented IMAP for decades; that was one of the first IMAP implementations to see widespread use.
Not surprising, as both the RFC for IMAP and Pine are creations of the same person (Mark Crispin, RIP). Both have evolved considerably, though, but as a regular user of (al)pine, I get by just fine.
It's sort of like Emacs -- lots of cryptic keypresses, but once you amortize the time to learn them, you can mulch through mail fairly quickly.
