…
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
