First imp does not seem to have filters. I don't think that a mail
reader should be used unless it has filters. I am on6 or 7 high traffic
mailing lists and a few others that are not so high. no filters means i
can 't read my mail. I saw signatures  in imp were they gpg? Furthermore
i think that yuou have discounted the idea of having multiple frontends
but a standard backend. The calendar contacts program is awesome. Sure
you have a palm that is hwy there is a conduit.
