I'd like to know too! It seemed to me that all the modern clients,
which tend to be GUI clients, are programmed with the same frame of
mind, namely with the assumption that all your mail is stored in some
humangous imap repository or else the same directory, and is in some
kind of directory format (i.e. one mail per file). A kmail developer
told me outright that kmail expects to be the only(!!!) application
accessing the directory where the mail is stored in (wow that's bad). I
fear all other modern/new/GUI clients are the same. A more satisfactory
solution would be nice indeed. So far it's mutt.
