Is there a simple robust IMAP client to replace Pine (which I *think* is no longer supported)? GUI or TTY session?
I'm wondering if there is something we can tell users to use when Things Are Dire. GUI would be better since it removes one of the few remaining reasons for a logon server
GUIwise, I have been using Sylpheed for years, both personally and professionally, and I believe it to be the best GUI-type IMAP client around. It too does the header caching and other stuff mentioned but, compared with Thunderbird, it has:
. always performed "better" (i.e., faster) . never crashed (AFAICR)
Bling-wise, it's a bit poor, but it gets the job done.
