I don't need to make my living from ChatterEmail, although it would
provide a rather good one.  I do it out of passion for the product and
a desire to keep improving it.

As ChatterEmail grows, there are forces pulling in many directions.
For example, I have hundreds of users of the new Exchange plugin who
are in a hurry for this feature or that feature.  And, due to a new
deal for my SSL plugin, I have had move very quickly to juggle the
product line to make it available to all new users at near zero cost
to them. 

So when bug reports come in that haven't been heard of before (e.g.
the reply-to POP3 bug), and that aren't "fatal", that becomes a lower
priority than other, more serious ones, configuration help for new
users, etc.

It's not that I don't think it's important, or that I won't fix it;
it's just that I can't do everything "right now".  So yes, I get a bit
defensive if someone complains that I don't care about their problem,
or their suggestion...  But it's because I WANT to deal with all of
these things, and just wish people would understand that, as hard as I
try, I'm not nearly perfect.
