I've been tempted more than once to just revert back to mutt and use
fetchmail for all my mail needs, but then I think about the 700MB of
email on my server and usually rethink it... :)

There are a couple of reasons I don't just use mutt/procmail as it is:
mutt's IMAP support has been a little flaky in my experience, and the
way I deal with my incoming mail doesn't translate too easily into a
mutt/procmail solution. Procmail could easily filter/file all my mail
for me where I could read it at my leisure with mutt, but the way I do
it with Netscape is to have all my incoming mail sitting in my inbox,
and filters automagically file it away in folders, but only _marks_ it
deleted in my inbox without actually deleting it until I do it manuall.
Then, when I've read I read everything in my INBOX, I hit the "clean up
my INBOX" option and wipe out all the mail that's been filtered
elsewhere.

Hmmm... come to think of it, I bet a procmail recipe could be written
that copies mail to an appropriate folder, but also leaves a copy in my
INBOX, only marked "D"eleted, waiting for mutt to purge it. I think
I'll have to look into that...
