I can't comment on Pine, but I find TBird's IMAP a lot faster than
Evo's. Also more reliable (I've *never* had TBird hang on me). Given
recent comments about rewriting the IMAP code, is no-one thinking of
just adapting it from some other client (TBird, Pine, ...)? I mean,
isn't that what free software is all about?
