I for one am using Thunderbird to read emails. I get them as individual messages. Just this afternoon, I got Procmail fully configured and sorting my emails at the IMAP server. Before that, I had Thunderbird doing it. But having to keep the same rules at home and in the office was sometimes a pain. Now with Procmail filtering/sorting/filing at the server that is a thing of the past. Lastly, I tell Thunderbird to sort my messages by subject and show them threaded. This allows me to follow or ignore entire threads quickly.
Searching all the messages in a mail directory (mail folder) should be fairly simple for any reasonable email or NN program.
