Usually I know approximately where the message is
so I don't have to search 50 folders or dosens of
archives (there are storage limits in corporate
environments, so you have to archive old
messages).

Yes, but you spoke in general words ("behind the
times", "largely due to its design", "inherent
deficiencies", "the interface is not uniform or
consistent" and so on) and I hate general
discussions - they are just a waste of time. If
you have a specific problem like the
abovementioned search across multiple folders,
then I think devs would be ready to discuss
possible solutions.

Well, let's look at my last patch for mutt:
http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3566
brendan did analyse and tested it against yandex
IMAP, it just took him several months to do. Bug's
resolved, everybody's happy (and I had my
home-brewed mutt working just fine against yandex
during these months, as I do now - I still use
1.5.18).
Mind you, the bug was only relevant for
mutt+yandex users and for limited time, so not the
top priority definitely.
Several months to fix a minor bug is a good time
if you compare to e.g. Debian.
