I also read their announcement with interest. Yet, I'm not inclined to
sit back and wait.

I recall having read somewhere that MS products speak a different
dialect of IMAPrev4. I set up an IMAP server once where one setting
was along the lines of "support broken OE IMAP -yes".

Again, unless the pressure rises I don't think GMX will put much
effort into supporting other IMAP 'dialects'. Sadly we are in no
position to claim that the Bat speaks proper IMAP. We simply do not
know if the limited IMAP support that the Bat currently has is
'proper' or 'improper'. Yet I know for sure that it at least is able
to work with fastmail and other mail providers.

Anybody here that knows about the differences in IMAP support?

Regards,

Markus
