I used Mail for several weeks after Panther came out. It's good. I appreciate the IMAP support and the HTML rendering (although I prefer not to receive HTML mail, it's sort of becoming a fact of life). But PM the email client for me for several reasons: (1) the integrity of the database, (2) the incredible searching speed (PM is the only email app I've where I actually don't mind searching for messages -- usually the searches in other clients are so slow that I just do it by hand, trying to remember senders or dates), (3) the filtering system meets all my needs and PM 5 improves on that, (4) I absolutely LOVE the Recent Mail browser: everything gets files by filters, yet everything is visible when it comes in (if I want it to be), (5) SpamSieve meets all my spam blocking needs, and it is now even better integrated. The few things I'd like to see improved from my standpoint are better IMAP support, a more efficient way to file messages by hand (better than the current popup menu), and true threading (not Mail's idea of threading). -- Sherman
