I’m a big fan of using Shortwave as-is (ie with Gmail), but I agree it would be great it they added generic IMAP support. Being tied to GMail is a bit unfortunate.
A feature like that could make the $9/month more compelling. What I’d really love is that plus the ability for the client to work fully independently of Shortwave’s servers, so that when they invariably get acquired I can continue to use it.

It is a Gmail client, not an email client. The latter is an open standard, which is obviously not supported. That should be mentioned.
Going from 0 to 9 USD / month is steep. Apparently, everyone has Silicon Valley salaries now, for some app.
EDIT: apparently, they changed the title. props for that. :)
