Cons
Con Dead product
No release in well over a year, no support, and a permanent "never to be repeated" offer. This product is now looking like a con itself.
Con Not free
You have to subscribe to a paid plan to use it.
Con Cannot unsubscribe or cancel service
Cancellation requests go unanswered but the yearly invoices continue to arrive and credit card is charged.
Con No POP3 support
Con No IMAP support, only for Microsoft Exchange
Con Only available for Windows
Con It's all about cash - support, new licenses policy, bugs. Not worth buying.
Two programmers coding - this means every release is full of bugs sometimes making this app unusable. Dev version is testing via community.
