Gnus.

fsu> Important to me are:

At my site, the IMAP server works slowly. Gnus can't help with that.
fsu> - Filing in IMAP mailboxes
No problem. My site enables procmail by default, and I sort the mails
directly by procmail (not by Gnus's filtering mechanism). The IMAP
server sees only the sorted mailboxes.
fsu> - Copying sent mail to IMAP mailbox
No problem. Gnus let's you move mail from anything to anything,
provided that the latter supports "writing" (i.e. no Dejanews for the
destination.)
fsu> - CRAM/MD5
What's that? Gnus works with mailcrypt.el, which signs, encrypts and
verifies mails via GnuPG.
fsu> and while traveling - Partial downloading of large messages
Enable the "Agent" function of Gnus.
fsu> - Disconnected operation
I'm offline right now. Yes, I'm just posting news, not mails. But
Gnus treat mail and news alike.
