Full internet access the whole time. Ethernet to a T1 line. Web
browsing works, fetching email works.

Ok, Rene gave me a clue. I have my send and receive set to do one
account at a time. In the schedulings dialog, the SMTP has all options
checked.. immediately when queued, when retrieving and before quitting.
With the VPN down, I tried sending a message on a VPN account. After a
while it timed out and I got a no server error message. Just like it
should. I then tried sending an email from a different account. It
went into the out tray, but there was no attempt to send it (based on
the status bar on the lower corner of the recent mail window.) Tried
again with a different, non VPN account. Again, right into the Out
Tray, no error message, nothing showed up on the status bar.
If I go into the Out tray, click on either message to a non VPN account,
click send.. nothing. If I click on the message to the VPN account it
tries again, and of course times out.
In all cases, I had full internet access, and access to the non VPN mail
servers. I could retrieve mail just fine, and it works fine on the
scheduled retrieve connections.
If I delete the stalled VPN message from the Out Tray, the other two
messages send immediately.
If I go check "send simultaneously" in Mail Schedulings, then it works
fine, and the stalled VPN message does not block other accounts.
There are times when I am traveling that I have slow, high latency net
connections, and things really slow down with multiple simultaneous
connections, so I prefer to do one account at a time.
BUT, I think it is still wrong to block all accounts when one account
has a sending error, and its still wrong to not notify the user when the
program cannot do an action that was specifically requested i.e. send an
email when the user says to send it.

Here's my biggie:
Threaded emails. When I reply to a message, I want an easy way to see
all the messages already in the thread. Other email programs do this -
and it can't be tough to implement.

Here here!
For me, message threading and database > 2 GB are the most desired.
Jérôme, any time frame for at least a _feature list_ of PM6?

threading, sorting by thread (I have here some guys who do append on any
subject Antwort, others Re etc.)
single file database to support time machine, better handling of html
and rtf mails.
Support for priority and receipts.
Thanks and all the best

One I would like to se (actually not available in 5.5.3) is the
possibility to share the same email address between different contacts
in the address book, without having to add one empty space before the
copy of an already stored email address.

I spent a day or so recently attempting to wean myself off PowerMail. I
am so frustrated with its limitations that it really is interfering with
my effectiveness. (As far as I can tell, my frustrations with other
email clients would be worse, so I stay with PowerMail).
But my frustrations are so small, that they could be addressed in a
"5.6.6" rev. They are:
1) Index html emails.
2) For emails that do not have a name in the From field, guess the name
from the Address Book, and include the guessed name in the index and in
the "From" column. This way when I am looking for emails from Bruce, I
don't need to search on "Bruce1954yahoo" or whatever he was using that year!
3) Don't be so eager to check email. When I wake up my laptop, wait a
few seconds before checking and let the wireless connection come up.
4) Give me one error message when you can't get email (because, eg,
wireless is down). Don't give me one modal dialog for each account! Even
better, use Growl.
5) Stop random crashes.
OK, granted, 5 is not necessarily an easy fix--but the other 4 should be
2 days' work, or less!
