I run an IMAP server to make it easier to get at my mail remotely, and Evolution works great with it. Yes, Evolution is a bit on the "heavy" side, but if you've got a relatively recent system, it's not really noticeable. As for speed with IMAP, I've got about a dozen folders holding ~10,000 messages, and I have no complaints. I periodically run a filter which moves messages older than 1 month to an Archive folder so that my inbox stays around 500 messages, and it takes about 1.5 seconds for the folder to open when I'm on the LAN. (Time will vary depending on your connection speed to the IMAP server.) -Alex p.s. In regards to the original message, esp. the part about a good text editor, I'd STRONGLY encourage anyone who doesn't already know one, to either learn Vim or Emacs. I perfer Emacs and I have all of my Gnome keybindings set to Emacs style, and each passing day I wonder how I ever lived without it.
