Already did a fair amount of googling... that's how I found out about
cone, mutt, pine, and alpine. And I've tried them all a little bit. I
was just curious what your experiences had been. (And if any of you
used IMAP with a text-based client.)

Up until now, I've always used GUI clients (Thunderbird, Icedove, and
Claws-mail), and its always been pretty easy to setup an IMAP account
with one of these. But I like living inside of a text-based environment
as much as possible. It was the coolest thing ever when I figured that
I could switch between virtual terminals with Ctrl-Alt F1, etc.
