Different apps. Unfortunately, there's no complex program that is coded to say "Only use what I want to use". It doesn't quite work that way. If all you want is blinding email speed, then, in all seriousness, E'rage will never be the app for you. It's not just an email app. If you want blinding email speed, Thunderbird or Pine are better choices. > > I guess what I am getting at is I feel it is slow at its core features, > excluding all the fancy stuff, which I simply don't use. Exchange support is a core feature of E'rage. So are projects. It's not just an email application. It never *was* just an email application. And all the stuff it does are its core functions. > > If it makes a difference, I would be happy as heck to see no new features > for 2 years, pure performance tuning and bug fixes. There's no way MS can go for two years doing the same level of work with an income stream of zero, because, and there's no way to get around this, no one is going to pay for updates that consist of nothing but performance updates. So for two years, the entire E'rage team does nothing but tweak performance...and they make...no money whatsoever. As well, for the people who need better Exchange performance? You think they're going to spend money on upgrades that do them no good whatsoever in their core needs? Nope. Not happening. You get performance tweaks with each new version, but they have to increase the feature set, and improve the feature set so that they can maintain the income stream. Microsoft's bank balance is immaterial. Without getting into details, it's not a cashucopia, it doesn't work that way. john -- "We aren't going to try to train you,we're going to try to kill you." - Soldier I, SAS -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
