But if you have a strong need to organize your mails and sync across devices, it may be a solution. I haven't tested it for the reason stated above. |
I went with Google for a couple of years because of the IMAP ability, but Google has become too unethical and slimy IMHO. I wouldn't trust Google with anything anymore. I finally decided to pay my website provider a little more money and upgraded my email service to IMAP. It is certainly not free like Gmail, but it is way more secure and there is no fox in the hen house like there was in Gmail.
