Listers,

Someone's mentioned on the list Mailmate as an alternative IMaP client to 
Apple's Mail. 

I've installed it but I'm having some trouble with it so to be aware. 

Firstly, the "import account" feature which is supposed to import into MailMate 
all your existing imap accounts doesn't seem import iCloud account very 
successfully. Other account like gmail have been imported well but not iCloud. 
Whe When I try to send a message in MailMate using my iCloud account , I get an 
error message telling me that the smtp server is not configured. I tried to 
configure it manually but to no avail.

Secondly, certain features are not accessible with Voiceover. For instance, you 
cannot choose when composing a new message from which account the message is 
being sent. There are also other graphics that Voiceover doesn't see. Also, I 
don't seem to b able to save a message into a folder on my mac. I've written to 
the developer but he seems to be saying that you can at present only use drop 
and drag in order to save a message although "save" and "save as" shortcut keys 
exist under the file menu. 

MailMate doesn't report whether a message has an attachment.

At this stage, I'm not sure how friendly to these issues the developer is going 
to be. So be cautious as the application is quite expensive.

Mailmate has a simple interface, and it is a pity that there are certain issues 
with it. 

I wonder whether anyone else on the list has tried MailMate. Maybe I'm missing 
something.

Best wishes

Andrew
