Don't use the IMAP. Configure an MTA and where you can have mail delivered 
direct. Where it needs to come off a remote mail server, grab a copy of 
fetchmail and make it do it's voodoo. Having an MTA on your local machine 
for just you is not just luxury - it's why you have Unix. :-)

I use folders all the time. If you configure properly it's really nice, you 
just have to ] and ! around a bit. It's far quicker than tabbing and 
arrowing...
