i must admit the whole grabbing a bunch of mail and putting it somewhere else
isnt great in mutt, but i tend to use procmail for this.

soooo soo unstable :-)

looks nice, i like the time managment stuff in it, but it still just screws up
sometimes, particularly with about 2000 mails in an imap folder

mozilla-mail :-) its still bloaty but its not bad,

i am proud to admit ive never used it :-)

oh, one thing, please never ever use incredimail, its sooo evil! 'send someone
a 3d email, add silly wallpaper' gah!! everything thats wrong with mail, :-)
(although it is intertaining) and it has no good imap support,
 
ahhhh
