Infotrope Polymer

Infotrope Polymer is an email client that targets the protocols of IMAP, ACAP, and Submission. It is still considered experimental, but it is usable. The software is designed to be a low bandwidth, fully roaming client. It supports more standard and standards track extensions than any other software available. The program is an online client, meaning that an internet connection is necessary at all times. However, it may not be appropriate for dialup usage, but it works well on networks ranging from ethernet to GPRS.

The software is fast, and the user interface lacks visual appeal. Also, some of the functionalities are weak. Despite its drawbacks, it is arguably the fastest IMAP client available in the market. It stores all of your account information, such as your read messages, mailservers, and other preferences, which syncs instantly between computers, via the server. You can run two copies of Polymer on two different computers, change the unread color on one, and see the change happen on the other.

The latest release added a multithreaded socket handling layer and asynchronous fetching of body parts from messages. The team also fixed various user interface bugs. This update enhances the interactivity and experience, especially over slow links. In conclusion, Infotrope Polymer is a compelling email client for those who frequently travel or work remotely. It is perfect for fast-paced users who value speed and functionality over visual appeal.
