Thanks, Brent. Just what I needed was another thread hitting on one of my biggest pet peeves about working on a Mac - the woeful excuses for e-mail applications. I have been using and living in Gmail since March, and it works pretty well as long as I trust that Google will play nice with my data and work reliably. So far it has only hiccuped a couple of times. But like Brent, I yearn for a more complete e-mail solution, and his post today has urged me to fire up PowerMail again, for the first time since March. It remains speedy and reliable...so why am I toying with Gmail? ]]>
