Are there any commercial mailers that use imap?  Seems
I remember a thread about this a while back.  Any help
would be appreciated.  thanks.

Jason,
See the file
  ftp.cac.washington.edu:/mail/imap.software

ECSmail (commercial, still in testing), Mail Drop (Carl Bell at Baylor U.),
Mailstrom (Adam Treister), and TWG Pathway Messenger (commercial) are the
only Mac IMAP clients I know about.  Alas, the current releases of the last
three don't do MIME, and I haven't been able to get a copy of ECSmail yet. 
There is a development version of Mail Drop that has some MIME support, and
it appears to be under active development, so it's worth taking a look at. 

(Of course, if you want to run MachTen on your Macs, you can run Unix Pine!)

ECSmail (commercial) uses IMAP.  However I believe the Mac version is 
still in Beta Test.

One of the share/freeware mailers (I *think* it was POPmail) uses POP2, 
POP3 or IMAP.  However it uses IMAP in a POP-like way.  That is, it 
DOSN'T use IMAP to access the mailstore remotely, but simply uses it to 
download the messages to your local hard disk and delete them from the 
server in the process.  (ECSmail uses IMAP "properly").

Another FreeWare offering is Mailstrom (from sumex-aim.stanford.edu in a 
top level directory, NOT the info-mac directory tree).

And I think Mark Crispin once mentioned another mailer (which now eludes 
my memory).

If anyone knows of any others I'd be very interested (especially if they 
have modest memory requirements!)

	Ahhh, not quite right.

	ISA, the ECSmail folks, have a commercially available product now.
They have their next generation product in beta test.  The last time
I tested it I felt it needed yet another round or two before it is
ready for prime time.

Thanks for the correction, Ed.

I knew the Windows version (2.x) was in "released" status, but I hadn't 
heard that the Mac version was.  And I did get a note from the ISA folks 
yesterday confirming that 3.0 was still in testing.
