For me, the main features I want in an IMAP client are the following:

• Support for IDLE (clients don’t need to poll for new mail, they are notified when a new message arrives)
• Delete messages by copying the message to the deleted items folder, marking the message deleted, and purging the mailbox so that the deleted message goes away.
• Store Sent mail & Drafts in the Server Sent Items & Drafts folder.
• Use internet style attributions (Outlook places all replies on the top of the message, ever other mail client allows you to insert the reply either interspersed or at the bottom).
• Support for Format-Flowed.

…

Executive Summary: Thunderbird is an almost perfect IMAP client for Windows. If you use IMAP, this is the product for you.

Fair and square indeed
