I first heard about this program several years ago (it came out in 2010). It worked but it never really took off in part because of TBird but also many (like me) prefer Outlook from Office. And more and more users were using web-based clients like Gmail or that provided by their ISP, or whatever worked on their cell phones.
I am trying to determine the differences between the free and pro versions. There seems to be some conflicting information between the
"about" page and the
"order" page.
According to the Order page, the pro version supports unlimited number of identities, the free apparently none. I don't know what that means. It seems to me any email client program must support at least one identity.
The "About" page suggests the free version supports a "
Comprehensive set of rules and actions" yet the "Order" page says the free version does not support rules at all!
The "About" page also says there are no folder limits (except by disk space) but the "Order" page says 2 folders for the free version.
Plus the free version inserts ads in outgoing messages.
The stated price is "$24.95 (one-time)" is not bad, but not sure I would really call it "one-time". It is not "subscription" based which is great - I hate subscription based pricing. But you only get free updates for 1000 days (about 2 years 8 months). You can keep using the program after that, but will not get any more free updates. And it does say "at least 1000 days" but who knows what that really means?
Another difference is you can request new features with the pro. Meh.
On top of that, it seems the free version is several versions behind the paid version.
Don't get me wrong. I am all in favor and believe developers deserve decent compensation so they can feed and shelter their families. So I am very much against the illegal use and copying of software. But I think there is a better way to earn revenue than "crippled" free versions that ALSO inserts ads in your outgoing emails.
This program did not get much traction when it first came out, I don't see it gaining much now.
