Don't forget nested groups, and the ability to create a group by simply pasting email addresses (without first creating individual contacts, or having them created "for" you). These seem like simple things, but they are important to the way I work, and I haven't found another client (besides Pine :) that provides these features.

I was coming from POP3 and bought into IMAP as the solution.

A folder inherits its settings from parents unless overridden, and most settings, including accounts and identities, also follow this inheritance model. I haven't seen another program take such an aggressive inheritance approach to configuration. It makes it very easy to set up several templates around the way I work and then create a new one that's like an existing one but only slightly different. > > I don't need all kinds of integration with other services. And if I do, I'd like to see it provided by 3rd party plugins to other applications, not a core feature. Keep the system modular and tight.
