Both isync and offlineimap do an excellent job of synchronising local mail folders with folders on a remote imap server. Then you can use whatever mail reader you like on those folders. If you're not using mutt, offlinimap is probably a better choice than isync. Other benefits of this approach include being able to read your mail while offline, and being able to swap in a different mail reader at will without worrying about how good its imap support is. -- see shy jo
