If Sylpheed would add multithreading so I don't have to wait for a network operation to finish before the UI updates, I might use it for all my mail. It's wonderfully fast and non-bloatey. I hope they add message threading too. Both kinds of threading would be nice.

Sylpheed does provide message threading - or I wouldn't be happy reading lkml with it :) What exactly are you missing?

Multi-threading, not message threading. He means that he wants to be able to look through his local mail whilst the client is fetching new messages from the remote server.

While I would like multi-threading too (annoying wait while the client fetches several hundred mails), he also asked for mail-threading :)

Oops - fair point!

It does?? Sweet! I'll have to try it again.

The lack of multi-threading, though, is still a problem.
