Alpine does all of that except CardDAV.  I have an IMAP folder with 400,000
dmarc reports and Alpine handles it just fine, with dovecot as the IMAP server.
You can put as many folders in multiple accounts as you want in the default
list to search and/or go to folders in different accounts separately.  I have
about six IMAP accounts and two local mail folder collections.

It has its own address book, dunno if there's a way to connect it to CardDAV.

Alpine is actively maintained and there is a port that keeps up with it.

If you remember how Pine looked 20 years ago, that's what Alpine looks like now.
