So, that's 1.6G of mail, that I access through IMAP all the time...
I've not had great experience with IMAP in the past so have tended to avoid it, but I'm starting to rethink it, not least because it gives me email client flexibility.
If I wanted to run an IMAP server on my desktop as my mail store, though, I'm going to need some help. At present my mail client (TB) pulls the mail via POP3 from several servers, sorts into various folders, does basic (well weak) spam filtering, etc. It also allows me to easily create hierarchies of folders and move messages between them - those two points being things I've found difficult with IMAP in the past (but we're going back to when I last used Outlook Express.
Presumably I'm going to need fetchmail or similar for the mail collection, drop the anti-spam for now (unless it's easy to add something?) but how flexible is IMAP when it comes to folder handling?
