well, heres a rule of thumb: if the project is open source AND donation requested, we (the end user) don't have a lot of right to demand modification. However, a paid for project (through sales, not donations) gives us the right to demand changes. Since he sells this app, he can be made to improve it by simple monetary pressure to change. THis is just a matter of simple economics (if he wants to sell more, he has to make improvements).
Its this credo that I use: Nothing so concentrates the mind of a developer like losing revenues. -eric On Nov 3, 2013, at 8:46 AM, Andrew Lamanche wrote: > 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.
