+Postilion is a mail client with the NeXt look so should be of interest
+to those using Window Maker and Afterstep. It is derived from tkRat, but
+has some improvements in addition to the interface change.
+
+Postilion uses virtual folders to map to your real mail hierarchy. This
+can be a one-to-one or many-to-one mapping. Postilion has a couple
+of features that are useful for mail archiving. One is "dynamic"
+folders which will automatically store mail based on things such as
+sender address or date. Another feature is the database. Mail can
+be archived into a database which is handy for storage as well as
+searching. Multiple virtual folders of type "database" can be setup with
+different attributes. Any messages subsequently moved to these virtual
+folders will be entered into the database with the attributes that were
+specified for the respective folder. This can also be done on-the-fly
+through a dialog box.
