+1 for TickTick. It gets the job done and I love that I can set reminders for my tasks that I can snooze from my Apple Watch or computer desktops instead of having to rely on Apple Reminders.
For Android users: Download the excellent, and well maintained Harmonic app and enable "Auto-collapse top level comments" to achieve the same BFS effect.
Thanks! As of now I don't have any plans for Android. It's a native iOS app written in Swift, so that would require building a new app from the ground up.
If you like Arc, I suggest trying Zen Browser. It looks and behaves just like Arc, but it has the benefit of upgrades and support. Arc Browser has almost been abandoned because they are working on a new product.
Thanks, yeah it is C#/.net9 and WinUI3. I started with C#/WPF, but wanted to get it on the Windows Store and couldn't figure out that would work with WPF.
I don't mean to imply it's not possible, but I ran into issues packaging with Desktop Bridge and the web started pushing me toward extreme solutions, so I changed course. If there's a lesson here, it's to package early (and know what you are up against).
I'm disappointed to see this posted by you. The developer of imapsync, Gilles, has created a fantastic piece of software and deserves all the sales he can get. Sharing private links like this undermines his hard work and effort.
- I earn my leaving from imapsync buyers but less likely on donators, as a measured fact.
- Donations work 1/100 less than payments, ie, for $1 from donators I get $100 of buyers.
- I don't make the github release, Nicolas does, and Nicolas doesn't include the .exe binary in the repository, it is a common rule in free and open source software guidelines. I do not blame Nicolas about this.
- Nicolas does a good job, a basic copy of imapsync mainstream repository where releasecheck is off and whatever he wants, like exe trash, I'm ok with that.
- Don't worry, my income won't suffer, as people don't read. The no-dowload link on the main imapsync web site is just a payment incentive. It works. It works enough to make me concentrate my work life on imapsync and their users.

The classic "lazy/stupid tax" technique. I remember coming across a site selling downloads of popular open-source software (which is legal per the licenses, and IIRC part of the sales was actually donated to the original project) a while ago.
This looks to me like they originally made it available for free and then changed their mind. The developer is well within their right to do so, but don't be surprised that people find it confusing and try to avoid paying for it.
It was free with a request for donations, and he sold consultancy for people with big tasks or who might need quick detailed support (corporates using it to migrate large mail servers etc.). I remember donating a bit many years ago when it made our (a small company at the time) migration between mail systems much easier than it otherwise might have been, and I'd used it personally for backup & migration before that.
Looking at it for the first time in a long while, there isn't really much difference now – it is still free to use, the old licence still holds (https://imapsync.lamiral.info/LICENSE), he is perfectly happy with people using it freely, he still accepts donations and offers paid support. There is the convenience tax of the single-exe Windows build not being available by default (though nothing to stop someone else making one if they want to do that and support it, there are docker images that would qualify if you already have docker of some colour installed), I don't remember that existing at all back way back when. There also an online version to save you installing it at all (no use to some due to data safety due-diligence matters, but likely very handy for many home users), that is only free up to a point (fair enough, bandwidth isn't a free resource beyond a point that the service must be well beyond). Some also say he makes it less obvious how free it is on the home page, but I _really_ don't see that when I look at that page, it isn't exactly hidden…
It's called the 60 day registrant change lock. Most changes to administrative or technical contact information will trigger it.
Although it's a real ICANN rule, the registrar is allowed to override it if they want. Of course very few registrars offer that kind of customer service, so that escape hatch might as well not exist...
I remember when you launched this, and I signed up for it right away. I still read it every day. I can't believe it's been 15 years already! Thanks for this awesome service.
