I'm afraid I must be more negative.
Yes, PM does work, mostly. I still haven't been able to get the mailto suggestions to work on Vista and would have thought that with the number of people reporting the problem he would have worked on at least that fix.

Maybe, but how does it stand up to PocoMail?
That is my biggest hurdle. I am really set in my ways and also with things that PocoMail does with my messages. I have yet to find a single client that works for me. There is always something missing or not to my liking. Be it filtering, scripting, the way signatures are handled, etc.; so far PocoMail is the only client to fit my needs.

Looks like it does do much more and I'm tempted, but in a dying (if not dead) desktop mail client market how sustainable is it going to be?
I've already caught myself accessing and organising Gmail via the web rather than retrieve it in Poco. The important stuff I fetch to the desktop. Not that I want to abandon a desktop client, but I'm not so sure I want to pay for it any more if there is an alternative.
After a successful mail import into Thunderbird I'm checking for errors and checking out functionality, if I find that it's not enough I'll look at Postbox, which I understand can just pick up Thunderbird's mail directly.
