There are other things to consider: IMAP allows you to pull down the
header information, and even the IMAP structure of a message, and then
move the messages _on_ the server, without downloading them, or
downloading all of them.
Actually, I think `B m' moves messages between IMAP folders, without
actually downloading them. I'm not sure, but I think so.
Having partial downloads of messages in nnimap has been a request for a
long time.

Dovecot is an easy IMAP server to deal with, and very robust (I wouldn't
have called it an MTA though. Exim4 is my MTA, Dovecot is my IMAP
server).

Yup, it's good to try more than one server at the same time, and several
kinds of server.
