Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

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.). However, the program has 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. I finally gave up and sought a replacement.

My solution: GyazMail.

I have downloaded a tried essentially all the reputable email programs produced over the last decade. After updating my knowledge of these programs I finally chose to download GyazMail (GM) yesterday. I spent 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.

GM worked the first time, with no problems, and has a very shallow learning curve. The most tedious and time-consuming procedure was the copying and importation of all my mboxes, because they could not be copied in a nested manner and therefore had to be copied/imported singly and then reconstructed. This was simple (I wrote a macro in QuicKeys to do so).

I have been happy (so far) with GM and happily paid the $18 to buy the program. The GUI is quite nice, is adjustable to a user's likes (and dislikes), and the set up was painless.

Email choices are idiotypic, but as a long-time experimenter in these types of programs and others, I recommend the PM to GM switch. It is unlikely you will be disappointed.
