Product Description:

MailSteward will archive all of your email in a database for easy retrieval, without touching or modifying the email in your email client program. Just click on the Store Email in Database button and MailSteward will go to work storing copies of all your email, both text and HTML versions, and attachments, and the raw source, into a relational database file. You can then retrieve email and attachments from the database by searching on Date, From, To, Subject, Mailbox, and/or Body text.

If you are running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or greater, and you are using the Mac OS X Mail program, or can export mbox files from Microsoft Entourage, Eudora, or other email clients, and you have thousands of emails to keep track of, then MailSteward is exactly what you need.

  • upgrade the database engine to SQLite 3.3.5.
  • Reply to email now puts the body text into the clipboard, so it can be easily pasted into the reply.
  • Add ability to set and/or buttons for searching.
  • Add ability to delete attachments.
  • Add ability to set default font.
  • Fixed bug in importing MailTags.
  • Minor bug fixes and UI improvements.

MailSteward Commentarydeceit - Version: 8.2.7, 12/4/2009 01:59AM PST

I am looking for some better way to sort through mail. This seems to be the better choice as to what would work for me. Unfortunately the comments and a few clicks, including on the radio show mp3, got me to a proceed with caution mode. I do not like any form of bait and switch, its clear that that is exactly what this developer did. Too bad the software itself seems good.

Another thing is the use of the word shareware. There is a difference between that and commercial software. You pay for commercial software straight out, while you use shareware until you decide to keep it and keep using it and then you must pay for it. And yes shareware implies the honor system. When a developer does not have the courage to be truthful, and tries to ride the shareware "coolness factor", he/she pushes me further into proceed with caution territory.

I like using good software and I do not mind paying for it. But deceit caused by lack of courage, is still deceit. Moving along...

MailSteward CommentaryPoor handling of upgrade policy - Version: 7.9.6, 5/9/2009 05:07AM PST

I agree with several of the previous comments. I purchased this product with a "free upgrade" policy only to find out that shortly after, the developer decided to charge for upgrades with no apology. I understand that developers have to make a living, however, deceiving customers may not be the best way. Having lost trust in the developer who I feel handled this very poorly when I contacted him about the upgrade, I stopped using the program.
