Which IMAP clients work well with other clients?

Which IMAP clients work well with other clients? I'm looking for an IMAP client that allows me to use other clients too. What I have searched, many store something locally and either break or require heavy syncing after other client has touched the messages.

"Check out Roundcube. It's a web-based IMAP client with a clean and capable UI, and it will play nicely with other IMAP clients (e.g., no supporting files created on the server-side).

I've used it at work to connect to my Gmail account via IMAP (direct access to Gmail was blocked by the corporate firewall, but I could connect to Roundcube running on my webhost).

It's a pretty common install option on many web hosts, but can also be installed and configured manually, if you'd rather.

Here's a screenshot of the IMAP folder management interface:"

"Is using Gmail via the web an option for you? You can log into a Gmail account from multiple locations simultaneously, and of course, all locations will stay in sync as they are all working with the same data.

Occasionally you'll have to reload the page on one machine to update the UI to reflect a change made from another machine, but that's about it.

Also, Gmail does have IMAP support, and with the addition of the IMAP Labs add-on, you do have a fair bit of control over what folders show up when accessing your account via IMAP."
