The configuration options in Modest leaving me wanting (guess it is, at least, aptly named!)

I have two IMAP accounts configured, both with approximately 1,100 messages in the Inbox.

I'm thinking about Claws-Mail, but I have no idea if that'll even install or run properly on the N900.

Any other alternatives? Barring other options I'll have to spend a few hours pruning my Inboxes I guess.
Supposedly there is a bug fix on the way for this, but again, since Nokia isn't going to push out individual bug fixes, I'm guessing its coming in the christmas firmware release.
