Working fine with my IMAP accounts so far. Rich in features (richer than MS Office Outlook 2016 or Thunderbird) and easy/intuitive to use.

Bought "The Bat" many years ago when I used POP3 and it was OK. But as soon as I switched to IMAP I had to delete The Bat. For more than 30 bucks one can expect at least a working IMAP client but well.. probably not.

How is this email client praised for its speed if there is no indexable search for messages and attachments?🤷
