Can anyone recommend to me a good IMAP client to use on Windows (win32)
within a LAN environment?

I've got fed up of Netscape Communicator's poor interaction with imapd
(namely that it takes several seconds to perform any action, and quite
often re-opens the connection to the IMAPD server, even resulting in
deadlock because two IMAPDs want the lock on the mailfile).

If I can't find one I may have to switch to POP3 (which I don't want to
do because I'd rather have my mail stored on the server).
