Well if it's any consolation, I am extremely happy with Powermail - been using it for years (Claris Emailer before that) and I find it is stable, does exactly what I need from an email application, without any distractions and fancy footwork, and the spam filter is second to none.
Rock on Powermail! :) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
