I've been using Mailpile for a while, I've a few criticisms of it, but they
can mostly be forgiven for the fact we're not at stable yet. There is some
base functionality missing (like being able to delete emails rather than
mark them as trashed), but it's definitely a project worth looking at - the
devs are pretty quick to respond to issues/questions and generally have a
pretty clear idea of where they're headed.

Have been meaning to play around with the SMTorP functionality since the
PoC made its way in, but haven't really found the time.
