I've been running on webmail for the past few years (long, but valid =20
story), and now I need to download and keep all of it.  Roughly just =20
under 2GB over 3 email accounts.

I used to download to a Linux box, but that's full and I don't have =20
that machine at hand currently.  So I setup Thunderbird (as it uses =20
the same maildir format, so I should be able to merge later) using =20
POP3, but it hangs after some time, and can't continue.  Out of ~7000 =20
emails in one account, it hangs about half-way.

I'm ideally after an email client (for Windows XP), that uses maildir =20
format, which is either very reliable (and will retry, check for =20
errors, etc) or better... will allow me to download by specific date =20
ranges.  This way, I can grab a few months at a time and let it delete =20
those as it goes along.

Or if any of you have any better (simple) ideas?

Cheers,
-Neil.
