Poor 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.

Seamless automated backup of all my e-mail. Fantastic support for a program at a fair price. I consider it a must have for all my Macs.
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...
