I second the usefulness of mailutil.  What also makes it neat is that  
it can read (natively) any c-client supported mail spool -- be it  
imap, local filesystem mail folders, etc.  So, if you've got backend  
mail store that has a c-client driver, you can pull the data directly  
from the filesystem and bypass IMAP on the reading end altogether.
