By the way I didn't see your original mail.  From Mike's mail it seems
you're looking for:
Multiple mailboxes -- very well, as I already described
IMAP - yes
POP - no (afaik), but you could use fetchmail for that
Easy to sort/maintain mailboxes - yes (if you're comfortable with
   console-based programs, anyway)
X - no, but if you receive image attachments you can always launch
   a helper; I don't really see any advantage of a purely "graphical"
   program.
Pleasant to use - YMMV.  Once I configured it to my satisfaction, I
   decided it's the best ever.
