Gut reaction: Trojita isn't far off Trojan. I think people will have issues with that.

I really hope people are not that close-minded, seriously...

By the way, from the wiki:

It's a cool name. What does it mean and how should I pronounce that word?

It's a Czech word which means "triple". The meaning is an inside joke related to a Czech pseudo-word, blésmrt. The whole story is inspired by Mutt's "all e-mail clients suck, this one just sucks less". The real pronounciation is rather hard for English speakers, so you can stick with a Spanish-like style.

How does it handle Gmail (labels, conversations..) ?

About labels, I believe they are sort of in the IMAP spec as keywords or something like that, so if Gmail is being nice, they should work.

About conversations, I read that Gmail does some client-side sorcery with In-Reply-To headers for that, so if this client does the same, it should work.

Good IMAP clients is something I always look out for. Be they command line, web based, or GUI clients. Most of the ones I have tried have had performance problems so I like they have it as one of their core goals.

Anyone know of any other good IMAP clients?

Trojan also came to my mind at first thought because I have no other basis of the meaning of Trojita in English.

For me it's not about being close-minded, it's about the mind making quick decisions whether to engage or discard information.
