TransSoft Mail Control Drawbacks and Summary Forrest Stroud
Drawbacks and Summary
Despite its impressive array of features, TMC Pro does lack some items that would make the client even more impressive, including Pegasus Mail and Eudora Pro's color-coded labeling capabilities and multitude of sorting options and Pegasus Mail's advanced attachment capabilities (including BinHex support).
Additionally, at $50 TMC Pro faces an uphill battle against competition that offers more bang for the buck -- while Eudora Pro can be bought for slightly less ($40), both Pegasus Mail and Outlook Express are available for free, as is the freeware Eudora Lite client.
TransSoft Mail has its work cut out for itself, but if the early releases are any indication of how this client will evolve, look for some amazing things to happen in the near future. Given its potential, don't be surprised if TMC Pro soon sports a feature-set unparalleled in its category.
Pros: Built-in PGP, auto-mail scheduling agent, appeals to both novice and expert users
Cons: Unattractive and sometimes confusing interface, lacks many of the advanced features found in other clients, dated interface and feature-set, no longer supported or developed
