My tip not so related to command line is to setup your own IMAP server, 
even if you only have a Workstation.

Get fetchmail to collect the mail and I use CourierIMAP to make it 
available. That way if you decide to change mail clients you don't need 
to export/import the mail and mark it read etc.

You can try different mail clients until you settle or get sick of your 
current one.
