Incredibly powerful program, incredibly difficult company to deal with. Licensing, unless they've changed it in the new version 5, is very arcane and cumbersome. |

Update: On further reading, I see that those of us who have MailSteward Light get an upgrade to the higher-level MailSteward for the $20.00 upgrade fee, so that's a little less painful. Still seems unreasonable to me for those who already had the full MailSteward, though. |

I agree completely with everyone else's comments. I'm more than willing to pay for an upgrade when it really is an upgrade, adding some new feature, but having to pay $20.00 for an "upgrade" that is only three bug fixes and a new licensing system that has no real advantages for me is a different matter. If the developer can show me how this "upgrade" is going to be worth $20.00 to me, I'll pay it, even though the purchase stated "If you ordered MailSteward, you are entitled to free upgrades ... number, you can always download the latest version." Otherwise I'll stay with the current version and if significant bugs crop up that I have to pay to correct, I'll start looking for a new solution for myself and the 200+ users I support. |

Product is apparently dead. No updates in almost a year, and no messages from the developer in his Yahoo Groups support area in equally long. Unfortunate as when it was running under a fully-supported version of Mac OS X and FileMaker, eMessage Archiver was quite useful. But there are too many bugs now, particularly under Leopard, for this to be a viable solution any longer and there are no indications that any further development is happening. Anyone looking for a mail backup program should look elsewhere. |

It worked with few issues under Tiger, but has serious bugs under Leopard. Hasn't been updated in a year and half, though updates have been promised several times. Don't pay for this unless and until an update appears that certifies the app as fully Leopard compatible and reviewers (here and elsewhere) verify that the bugs have indeed been fixed. P.S. The same applies to any of this developer's software; most hasn't seen an update in months if not years. |

The demo information lies. The information for the demo states "The Drive Genius 2 evaluation copy is fully functional, although there are limits to how many times you may use each function." but when you try to run many of the functions, including the Integrity and Benchtest, the application reports "This feature is not available in the trial version of this application" and won't run that function at all. Not what I call "fully functional" by any measure. Not only does this make it impossible to properly evaluate the product (and I'm not spending $100 on a critical utility whose proper functioning I cannot verify), does anyone really want to trust their system to a company that can't even post accurate information for their demo? |
