Pine 4.10 is quite nice, and cross-platform. The nice thing about
IMAP is that I can access it from almost any platform. When on
UNIX boxes, I ssh to my machine and fire up Pine from the mail
server, and let the imapd (imap-uw) worry about locking because
I almost always leave a client open at home. 

If you're worried about security, point your IMAP client
to your localhost, and use ssh port forwarding to connect
to the host securely.

Works well in the University environment I'm in.
