I had been looking at this software since it was version 7.x where x was a large number and wondering if I should hang around for the next version to come out.

After all too much fruitless searching of emails in Mail I decided that I might as well bite the bullet and buy the app. As luck would have it the app had matured into v8 so I downloaded it and archived the 8,700 in Mail into MailSteward. It's not a quick process, so set aside some time, especially of you are still running a 1.33 PowerBook.

Good: I had a problem with an error message, which was sorted almost instantly by the author.

Good: I can find things again!

Bad: I wish that it had NOT statements in the field drop down menus. Not currently being an expert on SQL means that I will have to dig out the book to find out the right syntax as there is nothing in the Help file to give you a clue.

Bad: The dates are the wrong way around for us Brits. We like DDMMYYYY.

Bad: A family license would be good

Overall: Yes I like it. I would recommend it.
