Sam,

I use mutt at work to read mail from an IMAP store.

While I love mutts functionality, I must say that the its speed in
processing IMAP stores strikes me as slow.  I think this is because
mutt doesn't seem to have any caching mechanism.  As a result, each
tim you open an imap subfolder you have to wait for it to spool th
count.

If you have a folder with lots of messages this can be a substantial
wait time.

If you archived locally and just kept y our inbox for initial
reception it might not be too bad...
