Selective downloads?  None that I know of.  There are CLI apps,
though, in the archive for that.

If you store your data in IMAP, then you could pick/choose which
client you like.

cron+fetchmail+postfix+spamassassin+maildrop+courier-imap makes a
great email system, and gives you ultimate flexibility.  For
example, during the Sid X.org 7.0 transition, my GUI got borked for
a couple of days.

Not a *huge* issue for me, though, since fetchmail kept on getting
my email for me, and mutt understands IMAP.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
