What an odd question. When I started using linux, I sent/received all my emails via Pine running on W3.1 using IMAP on a Sun. I certainly wasn't going to trust my emails to a system I knew little of. One of my first experiences of Pine/linux (when Debian still distributed binary .debs) was massive corruption of mailfiles through what I can only suppose was file-locking failure. (To be fair, I think it was IMAP's fault.) I use mutt now, but I still compile it for the Sun to avoid IMAP.
