Mailbird is hilariously feature-free. I'm shocked they can charge for it.
- There's no way to see folders other than your inbox. - There's no way too see mail headers - Most alarmingly, there's no way to keep local copies of mail, e.g. for search or backup purposes
These are BASIC features of any credible IMAP client, and yet they're utterly missing here. When I corresponded with the Mailbird folks in May, they seemed suprirsed that someone might even want to DO these things; one gets the idea that email isn't something they use very much.
Compare this with Outlook, or Thunderbird (which is *free*) or Mail.app on the Mac (which comes with MacOS), and Mailbird comes away looking pretty darn weak. It's like an unfinished student project.
