And allow me to third this opinion. However, PM *is* faster with nothing or very little in it. But as one of the point of an email application is to store your email, I refuse to bend for some loss of performance. If it's too slow the user should A) get more RAM, much more perhaps B) get a faster CPU and/or faster drive, or C) inform CTM that in the users opinion PM could be made to work faster and more effectively than in its current state. I don't have a problem with PMs speed really, except for when checking mail. But I expect CTM to fix that problem when and if they can. I still think PM is the best mail client for me on Mac OS X.
