Lee,
I used Powermail for several years. I quit using it when I got my iPad and
iPhone because I wanted to have all my email in one place and go through the
cloud to sync everything. I had great success with it.

I don't know if Powermail has apps for ios - I never looked.
Good luck with your search and will be interested to hear what you find.
I have yet to upgrade to mavericks and will probably not till some of the
glitches you pointed out in a previous email are ironed out.
