When I crossed the 5 gig email limit I found that evolution started running too slowly for me. I tried all the other options Thunderbird, KMail, and others I cannot evenremember. The way I ended up solving my problem was combining offlineimap, mutt, mairix, msmtp, lbdb, gnupg and of course emacs. Here are the main 3 configs.
