Which mail client for OSX?
I'm going to be stranded on a Mac for about a week, so I need a mail client that:
- Can support multiple email accounts (via IMAP)
- Does not download full messages, just the headers - and if possible, I can get only a few months worth of back headers instead of all the years.
From googling around I see that the default Mail.app only supports not downloading attachments. Do you know of any app that could fit my requirements?
Thanks!

My recommendation for mac mail client is AirMail: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/airmail-2.0/id918858936?ls=1&mt=12 .
You can choose to have it not download certain things in the settings: https://www.evernote.com/l/AEDVlU7RzNBIpLxdEoSOHj77wRgpH8oIirk

Perfect! Thank you very much!!
+10 for Airmail
I am switching every other month from AirMail to Postbox. Maybe worth a look, too!

Use the Airmail, dude!
I use webmail, but there is also N1, which looks promising.
Oh, and Mail.app isn't bad at all.
Webmail
I use CloudMagic Email for Mac, works pretty well for me, I just need to login to my CloudMagic account and there's no need for me to configure my mailboxes again.
Using it on Android and Mac. Love it.
I ended up with AirMail, thanks again guys!
AirMail is also awesome on the iPhone / iPad can highly recommend it.
I am using sparrow, its great.
Yes it was awesome but no longer maintained thanks to Google...
Honestly, it's 2016. Who uses a local client anymore?
Me, myself and I. Webmail is for kids.
@deadbeef does Apple mail app hangs at times for you?
cloudmagic is da best
I've had Airmail use over 50% cpu just on idle. Maybe because I used the trial beta but has anyone experienced this issue? Currently on El Capitan.
+1 for airmail.
Working quiet nice with my old mbp.
