Not that I disagree with you about the role of mutt, or the value of having good, external, dedicated tools for all the other stuff, but in the case of IMAP, I am hard pressed to see how mutt, as the MUA, is _not_ the right place to have IMAP support? I know an external tool could pull the IMAP-store to local (mbox/maildir/...), but wouldn't that be an ugly solution in the general case (connected to the server, workstation, nfs-shared filesystems, etc.)? But that's just some pocket change (from a (mostly) happy IMAP user). /dossen
