Well, I followed your links and downloaded Forté Agent 3.3 (on Windows
10), and when I installed it I was given the choice between the trial
version and the free version.

That's weird. I've always been told 3.3 didn't offer that choice and
that it reverted to Free automatically after 30 days.
 

So I installed Free Agent to test it out. First problem: it was unable
to obtain a secure connection to my usual server via port 563. (To be
honest, the same problem occurs with 40Tude Dialog).

SSL supposed to be added since 3.2:

I found the same limitations that had bothered me during my previous
test: no filters, no killfile, and even the impossibility of changing
the order in which messages are displayed.

OK, that's a PITA.
 

Finally, after installing the French dictionary, Free Agent
systematically freezes on launch. Sorry, but I won't go any further.

Well, tnx for trying.

Some consider Agent to be abandonware since the order form hasn't worked
for some time:
