Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: NO

I've used PM for many, many years. It is a very good program, on average, which is why I chose it over all the others (Mail, Thunderbird, Eudora (now gone), Mailsmith, gnuMail, et al.). The problem, as has been expressed many times in this forum, is an almost total lack of support, either in the form a web page on the ctm development site or in the form of responses from the developers. For many problems, one can figure things out in forums of various types or through laborious web searches or problem solving procedures. However, sometimes this is not possible.

I have been suffering the "tiny type" and "huge type" problems with increasing frequency just lately. I've received no help from ctm and I cannot find useful information elsewhere. I now have given up!

My solution: GyazMail, which actually behaves almost identically to PM. Downloaded GM yesterday, spend a number of hours exporting UNIX mboxes from PM to GM (which worked flawlessly), and now I have a clone of my PM system, but in GM.

I have been happy (so far) with GM and happily paid the $18 to buy the program.

Email choices are idiotypic, but as a long-time experimenter in these types of programs and others, I recommend the PM to GM switch.
