   Zoe

   I gave Zoe a shot today. Hated it. The interface looks wonderful in the screenshots, but in practice it's confusing, irritating, and inconsistent. Documentation is nonexistent, aside from a short and unhelpful FAQ, and despite claiming to be able to read IMAP mailboxes and import mbox mail files, I couldn't get it to do either. With a bit of work, I managed to get Zoe to import one small mbox file, but for some reason searches returned no results and I couldn't access any of my messages via the interface (although they were stored in a complex and confusing directory structure under the Zoe directory; not that this does me any good).

   In short, it probably works great for people who don't mind the interface, know exactly how to use it, and only set it up to sit between their client and their POP/SMTP servers, but for what I needed, it sucked.
