Doesn't seem like Spark offers anything other than IMAP+SMTP Exchange support, just like Thunderbird: https://sparkmailapp.com/add-exchange-mac

So if your job blocks those protocols (for security reasons) then you can't use Spark for your work email.

Anybody know what the paid plug-in for Thunderbird is? I'm curious to see what they're doing, if they have some sort of hacky workaround.

All I know is that I'm in the same situation and the gmail mobile app works, so there's something you can do.

Yeah that's generally the goal of disabling IMAP, it just means your company is forcing you to use the official Gmail or Outlook app. It makes some sense, as if you look for email apps on the app store, you'll see a ridiculous amount of random crap with no guarantee that they're not spying on every email you send and receive.
