Hello,
As mentioned previously, PowerMail is 32-bit only, and its IMAP implementation was lightweight by design.
Our own ISP has moved on to cancel TLS 1.0 support, so in order to continue using PowerMail we have moved on ISPs.
And when Apple drops support for 32-bit applications, we will continue to run PowerMail on 32-bit capable versions of macOS.
PowerMail is not on the cutting edge, but it does what it has always done in its uniquely efficient way… we are not representing suitability for any intent or purpose.
Regards,

Many ISPs are turning off TLS 1.0 support now (pair networks, for example) Long Term, POP downloads will no longer be possible for many users if TLS stays at 1.0. That in turn means that the lovely sorting we have gotten used to will no longer function also.
