Gnus.

    fsu> Important to me are:

    fsu> - Speed!

At my site, the IMAP server works slowly.  Gnus can't help with that.


    fsu> - Filing in IMAP mailboxes

No problem.  My site enables procmail by default, and I sort the mails
directly by  procmail (not by  Gnus's filtering mechanism).   The IMAP
server sees only the sorted mailboxes.


    fsu>  - Copying sent mail to IMAP mailbox

No  problem.  Gnus  let's you  move  mail from  anything to  anything,
provided that the latter supports  "writing" (i.e. no Dejanews for the
destination.)


    fsu>  - CRAM/MD5

What's that?  Gnus works  with mailcrypt.el, which signs, encrypts and
verifies mails via GnuPG.


    fsu> and while traveling - Partial downloading of large messages

Enable the "Agent" function of Gnus.


    fsu> - Disconnected operation

I'm offline  right now.  Yes, I'm  just posting news,  not mails.  But
Gnus treat mail and news alike.
