So far, so good. It's been solid. It's... different from what I've been 
conditioned to expect. For example, there is no Trash folder. That's a POP 
thing. Mulberry does "mark as deleted" and "expunge" as defined by the IMAP 
specifications.

Don't take the lack of active development as a bad thing. Mulberry doesn't 
need a lot of general improvement, and bolting on enhancements doesn't 
necessarily make for a better program.

But as a matter of fact, Cyrus has been doing a little bit of work on a 4.1 
release. Active work, what little there is, has moved to Github.

Apple Mail has fallen into the "let's make Macintosh just like iPad" 
mentality that's suffused OS X for the last two major releases.
