Steve Tarpin said for some unknown reason:


Picky-Pickerton, so I'm not big on detail, don't let that distract you
from the point.
Well, you can't count obviously. That's my fault now?
You had a point? OK.

 the features of MobileMe and the mail-push, server-side constant
updating of multiple
computers from The Cloud are awfully tempting.

Yeah, I can read thank you, but what it means for your work flow was
quite unclear. Also, Mobile Me and The Cloud are unknown terms to me.  
If you don't want to share, that's fine, but there's no reason to be
nasty about it. Cheeezzh!

Michael Lewis sa såhär:

I'd prefer that email programs
didn't fix errors so that crappy email programs would finally die the
deaths they deserve.

if the crappy email apps are made by Microsoft, they won't die.

Did you look at his screenshots?  There was an attachment.  That's his
point.  I'll repeat his words: PowerMail shows me a totally blank
message with a html attachment, with
no provision for viewing the message. It's just blank. Lame.  There's
no globe icon to 'view as html'.  The email had _two italicised words_
and for that PowerMail needs to launch a 3rd Party application to show
the message.  Lame.  This happens to me all the time too.

This happens from time to time since a long time. I've started working
on a script for integrating the attached HTML in the message, but ran
into some issues. I plan to finsih it when I got the time. Also, it
would be better if CTM let PM do the same thing automatically instead of
a us having to use a script.

Depending on the cause and widespread adoption of non-standard email, I
think it's not to much to ask from PM to be able to handle erroneous
incoming email and in some cases allow corrections to be made.

Re: MobileMe and Push-eMail

2008-06-22 Thread Eric Bickford
PowerMail;

Keeping an application up to date with Mac OS is not trivial

I would just like to say I love PowerMail. CTM has made excellent
choices when faced with decisions on where to allocate resources for
it's development.

I only hope the user base is large enough to justify CTM continuing to
it's development indefinitely. It has been some time since the last
major release. I chalked that up to Leopard's delayed release.

I would also like to say that MobileMe looks very compelling. I'm not
a .Mac user, but once I get my first iPhone next month, for the first
time I can see paying for .Mac, I mean MobileMe.

I'm starting to ask myself how PowerMail is going to fit in this
MobileMe and iPhone future?

Finally, my only big complaint with PowerMail is the 2GB file size
limit. I think it's past due to raise this limit.

Exactly the point of the post to begin with, and as we progress into the
use of the Cloud (information that is stored elsewhere and delivered
via the air), the more this becomes an issue, similar to the decision to
upgrade from OS-9 to OS-X.
