well, ok.  But if you ever want to be able to respond to an email you've deleted,
you need an MUA that can import mbox files from an archive, or at least allow
editing of header fields.

FWIW, its not hard to do, heres a redacted version of my gmail .muttrc file:

set folder=imaps://<my email address>@imap.gmail.com
set spoolfile=imaps://<my email address>@imap.gmail.com/INBOX
set ssl_starttls=yes
set editor=vi
set sort=threads
set smtp_url=smtps://<my email address>@smtp.gmail.com
set from="Neil Horman <my email address>"
