I'm sort of the opposite of some of the opinions expressed here.
1. I am happy to pay for an upgrade. I could care less if it is 6.0 or 5.6.5.0000001. I want CTM Development to continue seeing PowerMail as something worth putting time into (and for them to stay in the black). The upgrade cost is about what it costs me to take my sons out to lunch, and a good email client is a very important tool to me.
2. I can live with one big, hairy database. More messages simply means more records. Archiving messages will make it easier to keep them backed up elsewhere.
3. Simple styled text will make the difference between having PowerMail around to use once in a while and being the email client I use all the time. Because of this feature, I'll be able to reply to people who like the sort of emphasis that styled text makes possible. And will prevent loss of any styles they may have applied to text I include in a reply.
I have not followed this list closely enough to know what problems there are with IMAP accounts, but maybe because of that I will have an open mind.
Open mind or not, though, I backed up my mail database before I installed the betta! :-)
