I actually used to do that -- I was using Mew (mew.org).  It seems like
that's the only actively developed mail client right now, or at least it
was back a couple years ago when I was looking.  I eventually abandoned
it when I had encountered bugs and corruptions a few too many times. 
But I must admit it did have a snappy feel.  But it doesn't support IMAP
-- it looks like VM does, so I'll have to give a look at it.  It's
unclear whether it treats IMAP like a remote folder source, or place to
download messages from.
