   Review - PocoMail

   4.0 Build 3350 (Jan 8, 2006)

   Probably the BEST designed email client of all time... human interface is unsurpassed... feature set is BRILLIANT.
   
   And now for the bad news - its CHRONICALLY BUGGY! The programmer just cant seem to get his act together in the "nuts and bolts" coding to actually implement all of his grand ideas PROPERLY.
   
   Its up to version FOUR now, and bugs are still left unaddressed - and paying users left HIGH AND DRY! - from version TWO. Version 4 was surely RUSHED out of Beta without testing it on all of the "supported operating systems" (check the Pocomail forums for grim tales of woe!)
   
   HEED the words from the wise... check the reviews posted below dating back to March 25th, 2005 and November 29th, 2003 and April 29th, 2003!! These people are SPOT-ON in their assessments.
   
   I deeply reget i didnt find this page (and also read DEEPLY into the pocomail forums) BEFORE i bought the program!
   
   CAVEAT EMPTOR pretty much sums it up, I'm afraid. The only silver lining is that now i know what a really good email client should LOOK LIKE!
   
   Will Poco Systems get it together and actually DELIVER THE GOODS by Version 5, or just muddle along hopelessly like the past couple of years?
   
   It probably wont be til another year down the road - but I would like to give them another chance on the next version (assuming they 'do the right thing' and send me a refund for the hopelessly buggy version 4...)
   
   Or maybe someone else will take all those glorious interface ideas, and give them to a programming team who can ACTUALLY MAKE THEM ALL WORK ???
   
   Either way, here's hoping!
