bankrupt.  So now what is left to be a decent Win32 IMAP GUI client?

Polymer, currently in development, is a cross-plateform ACAP/IMAP GUI client - <http://dave.cridland.net/acap/polymer.html> ; it's probably the third real IMAP client, after Pine and Mulberry (okay, I'm missing Cone and Mutt).


The features I like :

- very fast, specially with prefetching;

- IMAP keywords displayed in a non-exclusive manner under header fields. Emails can be tagged thanks to the SIEVE-IMAP-flags extension or manually, directly with Polymer;

- IMAP URLs ; e.g. : <imap://;AUTH=*@example.org/INBOX?KEYWORD%20foo>;

- MANAGESIEVE;

- filtered views, with the ability to customise colors and save all those settings on the ACAP server;

- ACAP bookmarks.

It also supports other IMAP extensions which are not yet implemented on servers like the CATENATE extension.

Polymer is very promising, IMHO.
