Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

Agreeing with what others say here. Didn't like GyazMail at all. The only e-mail client that had was less appealing was Mailsmith.

No IMAP (that closed the deal right there)

Search engine was "pokey".

It just didn't feel right.

Price for this, cheaper than Mailsmith but Thunderbird (free) and Mail 2.0 (packaged with Tiger) are better values when compared to GyazMail

Value - Tim McNamara

<p>Of course "free" is going to be hard to top in terms of value for dollar, so Apple's adequate Mail and Mozilla's fugly Thunderbird stack up well.</p>

<p>I've not understood the appeal of IMAP. Leaving your private e-mail on someone else's computer (such as, say Google's) is a risk to your privacy and security. IMHO not having IMAP is actually a positive feature.</p>

IMAP, privacy - sjk

Seems you didn't consider that some people want IMAP access for their own servers. Or that mail access may be limited to IMAP, e.g. at certain companies and schools. FastMail guest/member accounts are IMAP-only; only full/enhanced account accounts get POP3.

Also, mail can be vulnerable to privacy issues on "someone else's computer" just by it having been there for any length of time.
