Incredibly fast and customizable searching, strong filter implementation, but:
* poor IMAP implementation and no sign of improvement over the last 3 years
* still uses the old, non-Unicode WASTE text engine instead of the new unicode-savvy one which is out for half a year
There seems to be little real development, other than addressing OS updates.
Still, if you do not need IMAP, or Unicode, this is the best of the pack. If you need either of these, it's time to look elsewhere.

I've used it. It is screaming fast and has lots of nice features. But the poor IMAP implementation keeps me from now using it, or paying for an upgrade.Please developer, please: fix your IMAP implementation. There's an entire base of people out there who would dearly love the features of PowerMail but simply MUST have better IMAP than you currently offer.

The developer's efforts were likely devoted to the ordeal of converting to a Universal Binary version. They are not a large organization, but they have been steadily improving this app for years.Tuesday, January 23 2007 @ 04:05 AM PST

Probably the ordeal of making this a Universal Binary used the time that could have been spent on the changes you mention.Reply to This
