I'm still using PINE (4.61) and have considering moving to something a bit 
more GUI and little less modal (Thunderbird would probably be a choice; 
I use the same client under Windows / Mac OS X / Linux / Solaris).

However, one feature I have with PINE that I've not seen anywhere else is 
the ability to store the configuration in an IMAP folder; I can have the 
configuration, addressbook, signatures, filtering rules, etc. in an IMAP 
folder and get the same environment wherever I run the client from (and, 
if I change something on my work PC [like a highlighting rule or add 
someone to the addressbook], when I go home, it is picked up).

Does anyone know another client which does this?  I have considered 
wrapping up getting/putting the configuration file via some IMAP 
utilities, but it all seems a faff.
