Hm. I _think_ I understand that to mean "we can't do anything about IMAP
support or database format, and won't be adding any new features except
search-related ones". Or have I misunderstood?

I think a lot of us have hung on for a long time waiting for certain
improvements, and now can't really wait any longer. In my case, I reluctantly
moved over to Apple Mail just this week, after 9 years with PowerMail, mainly
due to IMAP issues. There are plenty of things I don't like about Mail, and
which PM does better, and I don't like being so dependent on Apple software
either, but even PM isn't so irreplaceable that I want to run two email clients
in tandem.
I'll certainly keep watching this list to see if PM is updated to a point where
I can return to it, and I'd be _very_ happy were that to happen!
