I recently downloaded and demoed Powermail as I am looking to ditch
Entourage.  I love that Powermail can automatically prefer the plain text
portion but switch to the HTML version with a single click.  Its message and
spam filtering are top notch.

As you can guess, my reason for writing this is that there are some missing
features that prevent me from switching.

- previous/next message and delete: when reading a message, I can move to
the next unread message and send the current one to the trash.  Great for
reading mail lists.  No doubt it can be done with Applescript, but even that
wouldn't be as simple as clicking a button.  This one feature is most
essential.

- view raw source of message

- Timed schedules to purge folders: I have log messages filtered into
various folders and I have schedules that automatically delete messages
older that one 1 week.

- Color new messages: because bold itself isn't a strong enough visual
difference.  Same goes for folders with unread messages.

- offline mode

- hovering over a concatenated field in a list brings up a tool tip with the
entire field.

- marking a message as junk also closes the window.

- In the accounts window, have a check box to use the same credentials for
SMTP auth as login.


This may or may not be a bug:
When creating a new account that already has a keychain entry, if I do not
enter a password I assumed it would grab the existing password from the
keychain.  Instead, it truncates the password in the keychain forcing me to
re-enter it.

Thanks for your time.
Kevin
