I've been using claws mail for many years (at least 6) and would have stayed with it forever if I'd not finally got around to trying mutt :D
Mutt remains excellent. Once you know a few of its search operators you can quickly find what you need amid a large folder.
I've only ever used it with local mbox and maildir folders, not with IMAP, thus I don't know how well it performs in the latter scenario (probably not as well as running Fetchmail or an equivalent tool).
I use mutt against dovecot and gmail. It works mostly OK, but it doesn't implement imap move (nor does dovecot 1.x), so I can't use crm114's sexy server-side retrain-on-move stuff. (Not that I actually get enough spam to care, but I'd like to set it up for $boss who also uses mutt and DOES get spam.) set imap_keepalive = 120 set header_cache = ~/.cache/mutt/ set message_cachedir = ~/.cache/mutt/ set imap_idle = yes set imap_check_subscribed = yes set imap_list_subscribed = no
