In response to this and some other inquiries: www.pocomail.com What I liked (these are matters of personal taste): 1. I liked the Poco Console better than the TB ticker. The console comes up at the side and tells you how many new e-mails you have in each mailbox. You can then quickly scan the subject lines and click on a message bringing it up to look at and reply. I always personally found the TB ticker distracting and the Pocomail console not distracting. 2. To make a filter quickly, right click in the message index list on the field you want to filter by. That brings up a box to create a filter that filters on that specific field. I found this quicker and easier than the TB's method of quickly creating a filter. (one caveat: you can't create a folder while making a filter and have to do so before hand; they say they are planning to change this so you can create a folder) 3. With TB I display everything by a full height tree at left with the accounts and folders. With Pocomail you can do the same but can also have a pane for your address book which makes it easy. You can also do some drag and drop filters with the address book. 4. When you are looking at the preview of messages there are several choices on the right of each message for headers, reply, reply all, print etc. yes, I know you can do those things in TB but the way Pocomail puts them on the right of the message makes it very easy and they stand out. 5. Where someone's e-mail address is in the from portion of the e-mail this is a small cross next to the name. Click on it and it adds them to the address book. Again, I just found this very intuitive and easy to do. There is also a button by each e-mail address that you can click and it gives you the address book details for the person. 6. For many mailing lists, there is a field called List info. Click on it and it gives the posting, subscribing and unsubscribing info. 7. Within a folder in the message index there is a tab called show all. You highlight a message and click on show all and there are many choices such as show all messages from that person, show all unread messages, show all messages after a certain date, show all messages before a certain date, shall messages with attachments, show all unencrypted mail, etc. This is a great way to have a large folder and only display a few of the messages without having to go through a search function. I used this function a *lot* in Pocomail. 8. Threading. You can choose whether to thread by reference and then by subject and then by re: The advantage is that it threads by reference when it can and then by subject when it can't. I really like that feature as well since I don't have to choose either/or on the threading. 9. When you annotate a message the annotated text actually shows up as a field in the headers when you view the message. 10. You don't have separate folders for every account that you have. You have one Inbox, etc. regardless of number of accounts. Now, I have grown used to how TB does it and that has its advantages. However, when I moved over from Eudora years ago I was very distressed that were not common folders that all accounts used. Yes, I know TB has common folders now but it isn't the same. I realize many might say they like how TB does things better than Pocomail or that TB can do the same as Pocomail through a different procedure. And, that is true. It is just that with Pocomail it was very intuitive and easy to do the above things and I personally like how Pocomail does it better than TB. I also know TB does things Pocomail doesn't do. TB is much, much stronger on templates and somewhat stronger on filters (although Pocomail's are really quite powerful). And, TB does handled the intricacies of plain text better than Pocomail (although Pocomail was adequate for my needs). And, finally, Pocomail does seem slower and may not be able to handle really high mail volume. -- Best regards, Kitty mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.01.3 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
