I have 57k messages now and I worry about scalability.

If this program were still in development Slaven would have given us a glimpse into the future. The reason he doesn't come out and say anything is so they can continue to sell licenses. Why jeopardize future sales by issuing a statement that the program has no future? Hence, the "Greed" factor. Let's make as much money as we can with this dying program... let's milk it for everything with can to those who are uninformed. I'd give anything to admit that I'm totally off base and completely wrong in my assumptions
Slaven will not be issuing any statements I'm sorry, it has always been a policy not to announce future plans, it's not uncommon in software industry in general, major reason is not make people bitter when some goal is not met (release schedule not met, features promised not implemented,....) which almost always happens.
I'll not comment in detail on the monetary part (sales, licenses, milking,....), compared to the information I have it's off base and Slaven's main aim is to make Pocomail going on, but everyone is welcome to their opinion.
People should buy software that works for them. If it doesn't, they shouldn't buy it. It's that simple. All software is sold as it is.
I know of a lot of applications that even don't have updates, just new major version you have to pay for every time.

That's exactly what I meant, when I posted that Tomas.Tomas wrote:Fritz Wagner wrote:I feel that it does no good for Eric or anyone else to suggest that PocoMail has a future.
IMHO it's all about what we see under "future". If it's "it will exist and occasionally be updated" then yes I firmly believe in that.
What I don't believe in is that it will suddenly change to a racehorse and see an update every month.

I am perfectly happy with the current version of PocoMail and I am looking forward to the new version when it comes out.

My feelings exactly, I could not have put it any better.
PocoMail is a super great program.
