Actually, I am using Mozilla/Netscape for my email client now.  The 
option "delete from server when moved from inbox" is not satisfactory, 
although it helps.  I like to move my stuff to folders for organization, 
but I still want those emails on the server for when I check my mail 
from another machine.

I think I tried Sylpheed, and it didn't have what I wanted.  I'll check 
again with the latest release.  It seems CronosII might be an abandoned 
project (last date of activity is summer 2002).
