Hi, feel free to give it a try. It works for me on Windows 7 and as
far as I can tell, is exactly as stable as the 32-bit version. However,
several users reported that is is unusable for them due to very
frequent crashes. I have no idea why (and would really welcome insight
of someone experienced with Windows programming/debugging, which I
lack).

That is why it is marked as experimental.

That said, there is barely any reason to use it. Claws Mail is not the
kind of computer program which would hit the limits of a 32-bit
environment. The only real reason we've encountered so far were
calendars (for the vCalendar plugin) with events far into the future
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem). And I suspect that
our recent move to a newer version of the Libical library might have
taken care even of that problem (it's just a guess, though).

Regards,
