I just find it dumb to pay for an email client and 39.00 at that.

Everyone is trying to make those fast millions making software so they can retire before 30.

Doesn't anyone work hard for a living anymore like I did.

The kids we raised are just way too spoiled.

No IMAP, not worth a look. Sorry.

This seems like a solid product at first glance. The interface could be cleaned up and made more up to date as it seems to still have the old 10.3 styled look. Having the ability to actually build and send HTML emails is very nice and what originally attracted me to the product since Apple refuses to make their product easy to control the HTML aspect of emails. Still, it's been over a year since this product was updated and his product page on his website shows no mention of future product direction, so be cautious in it's use. Don't become dependent on it in case it becomes orphaned.
