Initially moved my mail retrieval+sorting outside the GUI client because it couldn't download mail in a separate thread. Then I also moved the sending for similar reasons. The added benefit is that switching mail clients is much easier now: SMTP server: localhost IMAP server: localhost and I'm done.
