+2 for compressed folders from me, too. I roll out my older mail from my
"working" folders, which are maildirs, into compressed UNIX mbox files.
being able to ready the directly is very useful.

Small remark: it seems to have a hardwired set of "good"
terminals. Neither or mine (rxvt-unicode and screen-256color-bce)
is one it. Or is that just for the default setting, overridable? No
ncurses/slang query for this capability?

Yes, this would be nice for me, too.
How deep is the header cache support these days? Just maildir? Everything
including IMAP?
Personally, my two most desired features are header cache and compressed
folders. Has anyone considered compress maildir message files? Or is
that just silly - I can imagine it going either way myself, and have
never tried it)?
