I use TB ("icedove", actually - same thing, sans trademark) at work, because the university's exchange server seems to have really low timeouts for imap connections, so mutt gets disconnected in the time it takes me to reply to or even read a msg. i probably should just set up fetchmail or something.

Either Fetchmail or Offlineimap (I haven't used the latter but I've heard favourable comments about it) would be reasonable options. These days, I simply have an MX record for my primary host; if it's unavailable, mail is queued by a secondary and I can just wait for delivery when the primary host returns, or run fetchmail -p etrn --fetchdomains <my-domain-name> <secondary-host> to hasten the process.
