Try to talk to CyruSoft (http://www.cyrusoft.com/). Mulberry (now available
for Mac and Win only) definitly is the most advanced IMAP client I have
seen so far. While I'm somewhat reluctant to spend money on software for
private use (no, I'm not pirating, but rather sticking to free
alternatives), a decent FreeBSD or Linux port would be worth quite a few
bucks for me.
