   Nope.  In the past few years I've tried Netscape, TheBat!, Sylpheed-Claws,
Eudora, KMail, mutt, Thunderbird and a slew of others I can no longer
remember.  I don't recall any of them outside of Thunderbird being able to use
IMAP folders for the mentioned "special" folders as of, oh... call it late
2003 when I finally found TBird.  I think as of right now I could personally
vounch for 3 clients which come up to snuff on that regards.  Thunderbird,
Evolution (which at least has reply-to-list!) and, get this, Outlook.  The
last time I tried KMail and Sylpheed-claws neither were up to the task.  Can't
say for recent versions of mutt, Eudora, TheBat! or Netscape.  :D

Apple's Mail.app has done it well for years. It's still the best damn
mail client I've ever used.
