Mail Forge was built from the ground up for Mac OS X and designed to be a power user's email client, providing users with a host of features not commonly found in other email programs, such as the ability to edit every facet of received emails, scheduled sending of email, tabbed or multi-window interface, HTML vs text options, menu navigation of mailboxes, etc.
Harnessing the power of SQLite, MailForge also offers significant performance advantages, ranging from the ability to have a virtually unlimited number of emails in a single mailbox, to search capabilities that offer

Harnessing the power of SQLite, MailForge also offers significant performance advantages, ranging from the ability to have a virtually unlimited number of emails in a single mailbox, to search capabilities that offer near instantaneous results. Even routine tasks, such as moving tens of thousands of emails from one mailbox to another, takes only seconds.
While MailForge already has a wide range of features, in the coming weeks and months we will be working hard to continue adding a large number of significant features and abilities to the program. For those interested in future development of MailForge, more information can be found at http://www.infinitydatasystems.com/mailforge/roadmap/.
MailForge is available for $19.95 per user, with discounted rates for volume customers.

No email app exists anymore where you can perform the following search:
Find all messages from joe@smith.com unless recipients include sara@jones.com.
Sadly, MailForge has the same search parameters as every other email app: Find Any, or Find All, and that's it.
For the record, after a long search and trying about 20 apps, I settled on Postbox.

For example: Here are two major MailForge 2.0.7 problems that bother be a lot on a dual G4/MDD PPC running Tiger 10.4.11:
(1) I have three POP email accounts. In MailForge, they all get dumped into the same IN box. The emails will correctly sort by name but not by date. I cannot depend on an email application that can't correctly sort by date. The current level of date sorting is a mess--completely useless for me.
(2) I still cannot print from MailForge 2.0.7 to my Brother HL-5240 laser printer. Nothing happens, except that I have to force quit MailForge to get out of what appears to be a software loop. MailForge is the only application I have ever used that does this, and I am not the only user who has complained about this in the last year.
I am now coming to the conclusion that bug fixes will not be made for Tiger or PPC Macs.
I so wanted MailForge to be able to replace Eudora.
It's looking like this is a lost cause. These are not obscure bugs, but very basic to everyday functionality bugs that result in MailForge being unusable to me on a serious level.
In the past, Matt has claimed they can't duplicate these problems.
I think you're not really trying to duplicate it using a Brother laser printer, a G4/MDD PPC, and Tiger.
I really don't think you care about this.
It's about time to give up on this one.....
In my opinion, MailForge is still beta software for G4/PPC/Tiger users. It does appear, however, that the software author has been working hard on this email client for a couple of years now. I commend the work and the effort, and I realize it's very difficult to duplicate Eudora from scratch on multiple platforms. I applaud the effort. I just wish it worked for me. Maybe the Intel Mac users are happy with it. I don't know. My experience has been depressing.

So I signed up and paid for it, only to discover that it basically doesn't work, doesn't offer anything like the easy functionality of Eudora, and after several updates is still nowhere near Eudora.
In fact to me, some of the other available email applications (Thunderbird, Postbox Express, and the "new" Eudora OSE are all better than MailForge at its current stage of development. and because they are basically all open-source, are improving at a far faster rate than MailForge.
I regret having paid for MailForge and have put it to one side as a curiosity. I'm still very productively using Eudora and still looking at what else is available. MailForge comes bottom of my "most likely to replace Eudora" list.

I have dealt with this company regarding this email client, and EACH AND EVERY TIME, my concerns were addressed professionally and HAPPILY. This type of customer service is pretty much unheard of in this day and time of automated answering systems.
This client is a work in progress, they have plans for it, and will implement them in due time. I am more than a satisfied customer. For those who dont want to use it, there are a multitude of other clients out there to choose from. I am simply making a comment about this software and this reply is not directed toward any user in particular.
Keep up the great work, Infinity Data Systems. Your work is noticed.

Even large development houses struggle to put out perfect software, and when you're a small development company things take time, especially to make sure all the major bugs are worked out and the different parts of the software are fully integrated.

1) We temporarily restricted access because our users did not appreciate someone (you) taking their posts and putting them on this site. As you pointed out, we have since re-opened access to unregistered users, but have adjusted the privacy settings of the forums to accomodate our users.
2) We contacted "Tom in London" nearly immediately to work out the issue with him. The reason we deleted the thread was not because of his request, but because we were in the process of uploading 2.0. Therefore, any thread (such as that one) asking about the status of 2.0 was no longer relevant or needed. We're currently in the process of going through our entire forums deleting outdated threads that no longer serve any purpose.
3) Contrary to your repeated posts, 2.0 is obviously not vaporware. Its here. Like any major upgrade, it took some time to develop. And like some software, we did run into delays in developing it. That does not, obviously, make it vaporware.
Finally, if you would like to provide constructive feedback to us, but all means do so. If you would like to review our application, again, by all means do so. If you need/want help with our application, we offer email, Skype and phone support, and will be glad to assist in anyway we can.

This is classic vaporware, folks, and don't be fooled.
