Sorry for the very much off-topic post but I have
asked a couple of
other places and from those tried some recommendations and decided I
don't like them. On the whole you guys and gals seem to have similar
sensibilities to me so hopefully can suggest a email client that I will
agree with. Needs to run nicely in Threaded mode (including own, sent
emails in the thread for normal, non-list conversations.)
I'm not totally sure it will meet all your needs, but Trojita has the nice
advantage of being rigorous about asking the IMAP server for *only* the
information it needs *right now*, and not doing the kinds of stupid things
that, say, Thunderbird does such as download headers for *all* messages before
showing you any header for any message. Even if your inbox has 10000 messages,
if your screen can show only 30 headers, it'll fetch 30 and show them to you
immediately before doing anything else.
Threaded view depends on the IMAP server's capabilities (which means, no luck
for gmail). And it's not especially feature rich. But I use it because I abhor
superfluous network traffic*, and Trojita is the smartest about this that I've
ever seen.
Very responsive developer community, too.

efficient use of network resources is a big deal for me.
