Our experience differs.  I've been using Mail with the Pine IMAP server 
(first running on FreeBSD, now on my G5) since OS X was introduced, and 
it works fantastic for me.  I even use Mail via IMAP to connect to my 
company's Exchange Server across a VPN.  I've considered switching to 
Mulberry as a client, simply because I have a friend who is a rabid fan 
of it, but it persists in presenting annoying error messages when 
network connectivity is lost (as when I sleep/wake my PowerBook).  Mail 
just quietly, and presumably happily, resumes its work.
