Do these MUAs keep a list of UIDs between sessions? Do they keep a
local copy of messages between sessions?

Is there a way of telling the MUA to delete a message locally (and not
download it again) but leave it on the server to be picked up by a
different machine later?

Perhaps we should make an explicit proposal for what might be
implemented in mutt ...
