What spam filter!? PowerMail doesn't have one. You mean SpamSieve is second to none (I agree), but SpamSieve can be used with pretty much any mail client, so it's no argument in favour of PowerMail. As for me, I've used PowerMail since the OS 9 days, but I think I'll be switching unless 6.0 is a major change. But for the moment, 6.0 looks like vapourware to me. CTM has told us nothing, no feature list, no betas, no date, nada. Why switch? Because PowerMail seems dead. There have been no significant features in ages. It's still a Carbon app, can't do more than 2 GB of mail, can't even spell check in the subject field, poor Unicode support, poor HTML support, etc. FoxTrot on the other hand is being updated often. The OS comes with a mail client, and there are open source mail clients. I don't blame CTM for letting PowerMail die. But it is a shame, it could be real nice if it had kept up. My 2ยข. Sean
