Yeah, I use something like that. Both gnus and mutt can handle that
fine.

Well, I meant 2,000 readable emails per day, which doesn't include spam.

Hmm? I don't use OfflineIMAP for shits and giggles, ya know. Quoting
RFC 3501:
The Internet Message Access Protocol, Version 4rev1 (IMAP4rev1)
allows a client to access and manipulate electronic mail messages on
a server. IMAP4rev1 permits manipulation of mailboxes (remote
message folders) in a way that is functionally equivalent to local
folders. IMAP4rev1 also provides the capability for an offline
client to resynchronize with the server.
