Good IMAP clients is something I always look out for. Be they command line, web based, or GUI clients. Most of the ones I have tried have had performance problems so I like they have it as one of their core goals.
Anyone know of any other good IMAP clients?
- __david__ 14y agoMulberry [1] used to be my gold standard of IMAP clients. It has one of the most complete IMAP implementations I've ever seen. Unfortunately the company that made it went out of business in 2005, but a little while later it came back and then was open sourced. There doesn't seem to be a lot of activity on the open source project and I eventually switched to Thunderbird (which only gets better, it seems). But I do miss many parts of Mulberry. It was stable, fast, and detailed. [1] http://www.mulberrymail.com/ http://www.mulberrymail.com/
- jmj42 14y agoMulberry was my mail app of choice back circa 1998. At the time, it was verifiably the most complete implementation of IMAP available. It supported server-side searching, server-side copying, shared mailboxes, and I believe partial fetch. All features that no other IMAP client supported at the time. Some of these feature were even difficult to find in server implementations.
- ams6110 14y agoIt was always my understanding that Pine, from the University of Washington, also home to the inventor of IMAP, was one of the most "correct" IMAP clients. It's pretty minimal feature-wise, though.
