Lightbulb Runbox and Spark mail app

A tip for anyone interested in SPARK Mail App, the award winning new client from Readdle. FWIW, it's the only one yet that inspires me to move away from Apple Mail and it's "free" for macOS and iOS as Readdle hopes to promote its other products.

After encountering problems connecting to Runbox [other mail services like iCloud and Gmail had no issues] SPARK support and I discovered an problem with AVAST Anti Virus Mail Shield. In order to connect to Runbox, I had to change the default Mail Shield settings to skip "Enable IPv6" and "Scan secured connections". Mail shield still scans headers and attachments for potential problems. Adding mail.runbox.com to the list of exempt IMAP servers was insufficient; occasionally a connection could be established while other attempts timed-out.

I'm not connected in any way with Spark or Readdle except as a user. Just hope this may help others facing a similar problem.
