Re: Mulberry - the future?

I still use Mulberry. On a Mac. Every now and then I try out other alternatives and then sigh and realize that there is nothing there that can do what Mulberry can do.

The Mail.app on Mavericks is a huge step backwards. The Mail.app on Snow Leopard could do much of what I need, but not quite all. It was so disappointing to see the direction they are going in.

I'd rather use pencil and paper and stamps and envelopes than Outlook. I've given up waiting for the fabled "next generation Eudora" whose name I can never quite remember. Thunderbird is too primitive. Nothing else looks real. I'm really tempted to write shell scripts that use the IMAPtools library, which is excellent.

Mulberry's use of IMAP is pitch-perfect, and I use it for a lot of server maintenance tasks that no other mailer could come close to doing. That's why I've been investigating IMAPtools. They will at least let me do IMAP server maintenance tasks if Mulberry dies without an heir.
