File manager or browser for IMAP?

[Daniel Miller]

Not defending Thunderbird - but I don't understand your "taking hours to 
load my Dovecot IMAP". I suppose if you have sync enabled then the first 
time you connect to a large mailstore there would be an initial 
download. But...I always disable sync immediately upon setting up 
accounts in Thunderbird so that's never been an issue for me.

Being unable to prevent downloads or utilize server-side searches is why 
some other clients have been disappointing for me - like EM Client and 
Mailbird.
