I know, and thanks for sharing it, but what I'm hoping is a solution for generic users which means "a complete package" some something that in a single apps setup a local maildir from IMAP, synchronize, support IDLE etc. So something like classic Claws mail&c, only with full local maildir sync and astroid-like UI. I can't easily suggest a dummy user "hey setup mbsync, imapfilter, a script to trigger sync on new mails via IDLE, a script to delete or refile mails, ... after that you will enjoy a good mail system"... That's the problem with many powerful tools we have, they are far superior than anything else but with too limited defaults or scope to be widespread. Normally that's not a problem but it became now that we have more and more ignorant (in non-offensive sense) users and no more "ontological paths" throgh universities, usenet, LUGs etc... Anyway it's a bit off topic... Sorry for my poor English -- Kim
