Further to my reports on MailMate, I've had some further e-mail exchanges with the developer. He is beginning to make some commitments to make improvements in the future releases. This is very encouraging.
I also need to correct what I said in my original initial exploration of MailMate. I said that the "from" field was not accessible. In fact, the developer had corrected me by saying that there is a shortcut key that actually opens up the menu and one can choose the "from" alias or another account. The import process of iCloud account needs some editing because the smtp server is not read properly by MailMate due to Apple's coding. The manual details are as follows: for outgoing server (which is the problem) the server address is: smtp.mail.me.com and the port which needs to be checked is 587. As for aliases, one has to write them in manually separating them with a coma after the main email address. I hope that the developer will continue improving the product because it is quite promising.
