IMO, way too expensive. Not even a possibility that I would buy at current pricing. I suggest: $25.
Note also that developers web site comparison chart justifies his price in part by comparing to Mac OSX Mail which he lists at $129, and Entourage listed at $399. He does note that they are 'bundeled prices' in a footnote, but still, the prices in the chart are bolded to get your attention.
So he totally misses the point that (a) the actual mail apps costs much less, (b) the other mail archive apps are much more reasonably priced than his, (c) the higher priced email client application actually does a lot more than just save off emails to disk...
It is pricing itself out of market, maybe out of existence.
Last point, the ManyBases appears to be the same developer who posted many identical "replies" to other macUpdate listed email archive applications, all telling the people to go buy his product instead of the one that he posted his 'reply' to. circa mid 2004.

You're right, Macal, and if you buy it to remove the 100 emails demo limitation, you will find it even more essential when dealing with 40000 emails or more that any mail client is unable to handle with the same speed, safety and ease of use.
2 years of develoment and testing brings it to 13 cents a day.
Isnt your peace of mind and datas value worth several bucks? How much would you pay to recover your lost data?
I might even consider paying it...
But, it is MUCH more expensive than the competition and people here and on versiontracker and elsewhere (eg Hawkwings blog on Apple Mail) think it is (overly)-expensive. That leads to a vicious circle where not enough people buy it (or even look at it) and development slows or even stalls :(
I've seen it happen before with other excellent applications (eg Sciral Consistency) and it is not only the developer who suffers but the also those who buy the application (and don't see it improved), those who buy a competitor (because competition is limited) and those who wish they could afford to buy it. No one wins.
Pricing software is a difficult art but it can mean the difference between the failure and success of an other excellent application.

- Slow to import.
- Way too expensive.
- Should offer the option to use one's own MySQL database instead of the built-in one.
The Windows UI is faster than OSX's. That doesn't make it better. You can use SQLLite to avoid separate installation.
