Mulberry recently went free, and will go open-source soon. (The author is 
cleaning up the build before releasing it.) It has only primitive support 
for HTML email and doesn't display images or other non-text content (this 
of course can also be viewed as a feature), but it's the best IMAP client 
available. Configuration is complex, but I particularly like the 
inheritance model of configuration it uses, where subfolders default to a 
parent folder's configuration, and accounts and identities can inherit 
configuration from other objects of the same type.
