You may wonder <b>why the support alone is the same price as imapsync+support?</b> it's
because when you buy both at once, I'm not sure I will have to spend some time
directly with you, it's possible that everything will go smoothly for you;
but when you buy the support alone, after buying the software,
then I will surely spend time (any amount of hours) to help you.
Does it seem fair enough?

The internet global estimated number of messages sent every day is 300 billions in 2019
