Hi there, I have been using Mailmate for three weeks now - with very mixed feelings. As a longtime Postbox user I've been pissed lately by the bad support of Postbox Inc and some painful bugs in the stability of Postbox - so I came to Mailmate.
However Mailmate also has tons of minor and major issues. Ok, no software is bugfree. But the density of minor flaws in Mailmate (that I would not expect from a 1.9 version) is annoying. Some of my highlight bugs: - invalid counters for unread mails for *some* folders - "default columns" do not work as expect, reverting the default columns for a folder is not persisted properly - being unable to remove an imap folder containing message without prior removing all mails manually (major usability pain in the ass) - incomplete and half-baked implementation of the "mailboxes" tree...being unable to arrange mailboxes as needed using drag & drop - fragile rule engine...hard to debug why email rules work sometimes and sometimes not - usability issues with the signing and encryption UI where the signing/lock icons are set or enabled when it does not make sense (e.g. no key available for a recipient) Most of the issues have been reported as feedback or as bugreports. What is my point? Mailmate is not a bad application and I appreciate that the maintainer cares more about productivity and power-user features than implementing useless features that nobody needs. However Mailmate has a serious quality assurance problem. A lot of features are only half implemented and not stable or usable. What is the point? Mailmate costs 45 EURO compared to 15 EUR for Postbox compared to nothing for Mail.app. The conclusion is: all mail applications for Mac suck in their own special way - only the price differs. -aj
