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.
