Again, I can't comment on Allegromail, but the download count seems
to suggest not too many people are attracted to it. And I'll stick
to my earlier point that it's very hard to get simpler than the two
big (and other freebies) and ask people to pay.

I wonder why they wouldn't go for, say, OE? Because you tell them
not to? What's the reasons you use to convince them? I would like to
know for I might need them as well. So far security concern is the
only one I know (yes, email bugs scare average users to death).
I do agree TB could try to provide a "basic" mode as an option which
can be "upgraded" to the "expert" mode by [un]checking a check box
or something. This should fit nicely those "casual" users I
mentioned earlier that want to start from basic but also want some
room for growth.
