IMAP seems like overkill for this sort of situation --- I'm only going
to be using these things on the local machine. Sounds like it might
well be the easiest way to do things, though. 

My gut instinct is to look for a lighter weight solution.... The
symlink for the inbox seems to work reasonably well, but I create some
mboxes using the date command[1] (that is, I can't know in advance
which folders are going to be there....)

I like mutt an awful lot, but evo offers some nice features. Still
waiting for an equivalent from the KDE. All it would take is to use
DCOP to provide a shell from which korganizer, kmail, etc could be
run, but I get a feeling it would still lack the level of
integration....

Cheers,
