I noticed a disturbing trend of Mac Heads not even knowing what PowerTalk was when I first started using it. I'm attributing it to the fact that PowerTalk might be rather confusing, for the very fact that it makes me love it. There just is NO application. All the email, contacts, inbox and outbox is handled by the finder. You only need to start another application called AppleMail when you want to read the contents of an email message.
Its also weird figuring out how to set it up, and your only allowed one POP account, (or any TCP/IP based account for that matter). PowerTalk (from what I can see) was not originally designed for IP based Email, but rather it was more of an instant mailing program between Macs over apple talk. Apple just included a separate PowerTalk extension which you have to dig for in the System 7.5.3 CD and install separately that allows you to have access to one Ineternet Email account. Anyway, I only have one internet email account, and once I figured out how to get PowerTalk working properly, I found it to be a very very useful email client, especially for my older Quadra 800, becaue its built into the finder and therefor runs very fast and doesn't tax the system like at all. I certainly can't feel a difference. In fact, I recommend it to anybody using a pre powerpc mac that wants to have a fairly nice email system. If anybody on this list would like help setting up or using power talk, I'd be glad to share my experiences that I've had with it so far. ------ From: Quadlist, Fri, Dec 20, 2002 ------ I think >>PowerTalk operating system integrated email services is the coolest thing I >>have ever seen. >> >>Unfortunately, you're one of about five people who thought that... ;) > >For what reasons?

I never used it, and Apple dropped it after 7.5.5 because nobody was using it. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
