On that aspect thou I really must disagree. First off it does know IMAP well enough to do a heck of a log more IMAP specific things than many/most other so-called IMAP clients I've used. Second it really doesn't have to download all headers -- just the new ones :-) I used Thunderbird to sort and read all my mail over a 33kbps modem last summer while on vacation and it wasn't very painful at all, considering it was a slow dial-up connection.
