Given that I use mutt, I'm not too worried about "RAM thick email clients". :)

I'm not sure what you mean by your first point, though; what does an MTA queue have to do with keeping your mail client open to *check* email?

It was poorly worded. I was trying to get across that keeping your client open should not be a prerequisite for checking *or* sending email. Personally, I use esmtp (without a queue), mutt, offlineimap, and notmuch to deal with my email.
