> This is combined with a very steep purchase price. Everyone says the $ 20 or so are a steep price, but I paid twice that for Mailmate[1] and it's worth every drop. It's probably my most used app after Sublime Text (to which it integrates, by the way) and It repaid itself after a couple hours of stress-free operation. Granted, people lament that this app doesn't work well, but my point is that, as pervasive as mail is, every small bit of improvement in this area may could end up greatly multiplied. $ 20 may be much for a "useless" piece of software, but I think it's wrong to start with that as a general assumption for a mail app. [1]: Mailmate: http://freron.com/ http://freron.com/
