    I've been using claws-mail since the beginning of 2013. Each
message is in a separate file in ~/Mail/FOLDERNAME/MGSNUMBER.

    I never used the attRemover plugin, but, the others I have used are
great. It was simple to set up a rule to put all new mail with a subject
that starts with '[Coco]' into the CoCo folder on receipt.

    If it doesn't have a feature or plugin for what you need done, the
perl and python plugins allow you to run scripts (or issue interactive
commands) to do what you need.
