CONROY.R  I really don't see the point of developing a mail application to replace the free mail application that comes with the Mac if it doesn't do amazing things that Mail.app doesn't do.

And with 10.5, the competition will have gone out of GNUMail's league.   
(Version 1.2pre3)

ANONYMOUS  A couple improvements this has over Mail.app (even in Tiger 10.4) is outgoing filters/rules and it is a bit faster in some ways. For example, pressing command-N for a new message composition window makes a window appear faster in GNUMail than in Mail.app 2.0. Also, it does have IMAP support. However, Mail.app is faster for checking for new mail, and its incoming rules capabilities are more robust.  
(Version 1.2pre1)

CARLA  There is no export feature, which makes testing this client risky--or, at best, annoying.  
(Version 1.2pre1)

ANONYMOUS  What does this app have that Mail.app doesnt?? I mean when u go and build something from scrach dont u have to make it somehow standout? at least dev. would include Read Receipt send receive option something Mail doesnt have.

and why would i want to use this? you'll never know if it worked since no sent folder gets chacked by sent mail.   
(Version 1.2pre1)

ANONYMOUS  It crashes when you do anything more than just launching and looking at it.

Also the interface pretty much sucks. Stick with Mail, you don't gain much by using this.  
(Version 1.2pre1)

ANONYMOUS  Umm, a bit ropey.

I closed the window, to open it you have to create a new view then navigate back to your inbox, and thats if it doesn't crash (It did twice)

I sent to mail, but neither appeared in the sent box, I am not sure if they were sent at all.

It doesn't appear to offer anything mail.app doesn't already have  
(Version 1.2pre1)

ANONYMOUS  Is it really necessary to have to *triple* click on a folder to have a look inside it? Single and double clicks illicit no response. Moving between messages (at least on an IMAP server) is very slow.  
(Version 1.1.2)

ANONYMOUS  This is a great app. I tried thunderdir, Eudora, Mail and Entourage and this is the best. I dumps Mail (can't find the server all of a sudden when sending large attachments) and integrates with Address Book. Now I can hotsync Address Book and iCal, plus have a half decent e-mail app. Make sure to click "expert" in the preferences, giving access to filters and lots of options. I wish it were easier to see attachments and manage messages on the server. Thanks again GNU!  
(Version 1.1.2)

ANONYMOUS  This program seems to be written in the true GNU style, with a rather cavalier approach to memory management. It appears that it attempts to do something on the order of loading all your IMAP mailboxes into memory, and do it rather ineffciently. When I attempted to set up an account, and asked it to look for mailboxes, it promptly chewed through several hundred megabytes of virtual memory and locked up my whole system for minutes until I could kill it.

Pity. I really don't want to use one of those Chrome/Gecko-based mail apps, but it seems that a Mozilla spinoff is my last best chance for email peace.  
(Version 1.1.2)

VRYKOLAKA  Finally a mailer client wich allow unsubscribing to mailboxes (the only other one that does allow IMAP unsubscribing is… Outlook Express. Yes, the hated one)

But tell me: why, oh why doesn't GNUMail even retrieve my messages? It can list my mailboxes (but is almost unable to unsubscribe; still the possibility is (badly) implemented) but it can’t download messages.

How long will I have to say that Outlook Express is my favourite email client?

• When will Maill.app allow unsubscribing and will it stop junking my girlfriend RF1855-compliant mail?

• When will Mailsmith support IMAP?

• When will TheBat! be ported to the Mac?

• When will Mulberry be understandable by IQ 100 people?

• When will I find a real (and graphical) mail client?  
(Version 1.1.1)

JAMREKLAGE  It'd be wonderful, if a preference dialog would pop up, when I click "Preferences" in the GNUMail menu.

This is worth nothing to me, if I cannot change the preferences or set up any email accounts.

Since I got tired of Mail.app constantly putting up dialogs telling me that there are problems with the server (which is 1.5m away from the machine running Mail.app), I guess the only solution for me is PowerMail from ctmdev.com, but it's Carbon!

[How frustrated I get, when things don't work like I expect them to; it's great that someone want to make software available for free, but.. I'd prefer if it's usable.. ;)]

I haven't rated it.

Oh.. And when I clicked "Quit", Finder told me that it unexpectedly quit. Argh!  
(Version 1.1.1)

ANONYMOUS  Unfortunately unusable on a daily basis plus unreliable under panther.  
(Version 1.1.1)

STEFANO GIOVANNINI  i was considering GNU mail as i find Apple's Mail nice but with a couple of really annoying bugs [it deletes the acct.s prefs when thescratch disks fills the HD too much.

I have 4 email accounts

the only things i miss in GNU are

the ability to see the messages by email account -

i like you can see all the new ones in the same inbox [all the new messages in different accounts] but i would like the option also to

filter and see all the messages from one certain account.

the other issue i can set to leave the messages on the server - which is good -

but what if i want to delete from the server only certain messages?

if these 2 issues could be solved i would totally switch to GNU mail  
(Version 1.1.0)

ANONYMOUS  alfredo: try deleting all preferences documentes related to GNUMail (~/Library/Preferences/com.collaboration-world.GNUMail.plist).  
(Version 1.1.0pre2)

GCG  An excellent e-mail client: fast, flexible and secure. Interfaces easily to Address Book. A nice alternative to Mail.app! Best Aqua GUI of any e-mail program!   
(Version 1.1.0pre1)

GCG  GNUMail is a pleasure to use. I especially like its GUI. Handles all my mailing requirements. Fast, Flesible and stable. I am trying it as my default and have had NO PROBLEMS!  
(Version 1.1.0pre1)

WIZZARD  This mail app has a very eye pleasing yet functional interface. It does everything that is promises and the support from the author is excellent. Highly recommended if you want a small, efficient, and stable mail app. A link to ical might be a future functional requirement.  
(Version 1.1.0pre1)

ALFREDO  It will not launch. It starts up, but then dies. It has been like tht for a long time on my machine. It did it with the last verison.

(Version 1.0.3)

TOM GREENE  I really like the idea of this app...

POP or sendmail, uses standard mbox format, etc.

The problem I have is that every time I

try to open an attachment the program crashes.
