What I think I'd like to see is an IMAP 4 disconnected mode proxy server. Let it talk IMAP 4 with another IMAP 4 server to cache the mail locally and do all the other fun disconnected mode stuff. Then whatever method your local mail program wants to use is fine, i.e. it could use IMAP locally or direct mailbox access (the proxy needs to store metadata somewhere other than the mailbox itself unlike the UW imap daemon). This should make it easier to find a good client and also run things offline. So if anyone is looking for a project ... Dean
