Need a mail app for LARGE volumes of mail...

[Jim March]

Guys,

Having all my GMail data backed up at home is a no-go.  I need access
to this stuff while on the road.  I never know when I'm going to have
to prove a given election official is a lying sack of
something-or-other.  Doing so next week doesn't cut it, period.

I need an EMail client that will suck down my GMail data in one big
overnight gulp, that I can take with me on the lappy.  It's that
simple.

Evolution seems to be able to deal with bigger data volumes than
Thunderbird.  I don't know yet if it'll pause every "x" messages
downloaded....guess I'll have to try it and find out.
