I spent a day or so recently attempting to wean myself off PowerMail. I am so frustrated with its limitations that it really is interfering with my effectiveness. (As far as I can tell, my frustrations with other email clients would be worse, so I stay with PowerMail).
But my frustrations are so small, that they could be addressed in a "5.6.6" rev. They are: 1) Index html emails. 2) For emails that do not have a name in the From field, guess the name from the Address Book, and include the guessed name in the index and in the "From" column. This way when I am looking for emails from Bruce, I don't need to search on "Bruce1954yahoo" or whatever he was using that year! 3) Don't be so eager to check email. When I wake up my laptop, wait a few seconds before checking and let the wireless connection come up. 4) Give me one error message when you can't get email (because, eg, wireless is down). Don't give me one modal dialog for each account! Even better, use Growl. 5) Stop random crashes. OK, granted, 5 is not necessarily an easy fix--but the other 4 should be 2 days' work, or less!
