OK, I admit it, it's not that hard if you know what you're doing. I
didn't know what I was doing when I set it up.

Not only is it not hard, but I find storing my emails on an IMAP server
to have tons of benefits. I love it.

You know, whenever I don't know whether something's a problem with
Claws or something upstream, I can use Thunderbird as a diagnostic
tool. Until I learned from this list the correct way to do complex
recursive searches with Quick Search, I was using Thunderbird to search
my IMAP.

I love having Claws for a user interface, Dovecot IMAP to manage my
messages, and procmail to do my filtering.

Thanks
