I believe that the Pine mail client had IMAP support if not right
from the start, very early on.
In this discussion, I'm not clear on how Matt is currently accessing
his mail (direct from mbox, IMAP, POP), or how the mail is stored
on the server (mbox, maildir, etc).
But, if Matt's messages are to be believed, it looks like he is
already using Alpine to read mail (from the first message):
User-Agent: Alpine 2.02 (LRH 1266 2009-07-14)
I fear we might be giving Matt advice on how to get to an end point,
without knowing what the starting point is, and thus muddying the
waters more than necessary.
(My guess is he's already using IMAP, but I'm not sure I've seen
the current IMAP server mentioned. And the idea of Postfix having
a limit on the mailbox size seems unexpected to me.)
Hope that helps!
John
