Sylpheed suffers from the same problem; my workaround is to maintain a
working getmail configuration, and when I know that I have a lot of
mail queued, my connection is slow, or I just want to use Sylpheed now
instead of waiting, I just download the mail from the cli with getmail,
and subsequently have Sylpheed incorporate it into its mail store
(which is a relatively quick process, even for fairly large amounts of
mail).
Why not feed it directly to procmail or maildrop?
Maildrop, which I sometimes use, doesn't support the MH mailstores that
Sylpheed uses (by default). I suppose that I could use the nmh
utilities, but why bother?
