There have been lots who complain that Bat IMAP is unworkable, but I
continue to find it superior over all to anything else. I only have
one account, which has 62 folders, and nearly 54,000 messages. It
collects all my POP accounts, and all my gmail gets forwarded there. I
haven't looked directly at gmail for months, nor any of my POP
accounts unless there is some reason to send a message using one of
those addresses.
I also use thunderbird occasionally for testing, and on a regular
basis to compact all my folders, since theBat doesn't manage that
well.
Looking forward to beta testing the new IMAP, expecting to set up
additional IMAP accounts for that, and changing habits on my POP
accounts.
