love the iPhone mail client for IMAP

[btownguy]

Why can't other programs (ehem, Outlook, Thunderbird) handle IMAP as simply as the iPhone does? I love how the iPhone lets you easily choose where Drafts, Sent, and Deleted items go (on the phone, or on the server). You can do this in Thunderbird, but for Deleted items, you have to kind of hack it if you want them stored on the server. Don't get me started on Outlook as an IMAP client. Simplicity - that's why Apple has me thinking of making the PC switch the next time I need a new home computer.
