Pros/Cons
Pros
- It's essentially the best desktop mail client I've ever used. Easy to navigate, easy to organise and super easy to personalise which is a great feature.
- I love the fact that it offers, email, Calendar and acceto contacts at the click of a button. Also great free version of the software, it has everything Outlook had but free.
- Email client is a very interesting email client, reliable and a excellent alternative to Outlook. Easy integration with Gmail.
Cons
- Multiple , consistent problems causing complete loss of all eMails due to database curruption. Consistently r'cvd msg 'Checking for database corruption due to improperly closed.
- They blame it on "incomplete headers. I submitted header comparisons between all sorts of mixed up messages showing no difference.
- The deliberately made a confusing choisce of versions, so I ended up, not accessin my old database, and lost also plannig, many monts ahead.
Pros
- An easy switch from other email service providers. The UI offers great user experience and is very appealing to my eyes in comparison to the like of Tutanota Mail.
- It was easy and intuitive to adopt. All of its features are on par or better than its competitors with the added benefits of encryption.
- The most attractive feature of this product is its user interface which is both attractive and easy to use. The security is also good for this level pricing.
Cons
- And if you complain, they falsely accuse you of bulk mail and punish you by shutting you off again.
- I've noticed that notifications seem to lag a bit, almost two minutes after an email hits your inbox. This can be frustrating if you are emailing someone back and forth in real time.
- Very hard to work with large groups. Max recipients of 100 is too restrictive for the paid version.
