Mutt has geat off-line support : mbox, maildir, mh, <something else I
forget>.  Mutt kinda has imap support, but it views imap as just
another folder format, nothing special.  I use fetcmail to transfer
the mail to local storage, and off-line is all I see :-).

Oh, I was wondering what the smoke was ;-).
