Is there a simple robust IMAP client to replace Pine (which I *think* is no longer supported)? GUI or TTY session?
Pine and Alpine are about the only clients (besides webmails) that can open a mailbox without downloading every single message's headers at startup. So they're probably the only clients where you can quickly open a huge mailbox and start deleting messages. I wish there were more clients that worked like that.
Mutt also has header caching. Just compile it with
--enable-hcache Enable header caching
