IMAP final score: I just bought Mulberry - it’s really nice.

I feel I should make it a matter of public record that MFC really annoys me. I am trying to build a couple of apps that I thought were relatively straightforward in this day and age, and at every stage I seem to hit some new MFC wrinkle that make it difficult or a rewriting job to do what I want. Unfortunately, MFC does save me a lot of time with grunt-work.
