Although the increased participation this week would seem to increase the statistical relevance of the results, the fact is that at least four of the clients enjoyed some get-out-the-vote encouragement on their own mailing lists. It's especially worth noting that our polls are in no way scientific.
I'll cover each email client below, but to stave off future questions, let me reiterate that you can vote in polls only via the form on our home page, and you may have to scroll down on the page to see the form, depending on your screen resolution. The results, and the email that the poll generated in TidBITS Talk, proved quite interesting. Apologies to those who were turned away, but we still recorded more than 3,500 votes. The poll proved our most popular yet, stressing our database server's capabilities on Tuesday. If we're not willing to support email developers financially, we will lose a number of the choices we currently enjoy. Of course, the other half of the deal is that we in the Macintosh community have to be willing to support whichever program best meets our individual needs, whether it be freeware, shareware, or commercial.
#Powermail leads mac
The only solution is for the rest of the Mac email industry to take advantage of Microsoft's competition to innovate like crazy with compelling and unique features. The main source of concern in some parts of the Mac email developer community has been Outlook Express 5.0, which combines a top-notch feature set with a non-existent price tag and an preferential bundling deal with Apple - a hard mix to beat for smaller companies that can't afford the same development resources as Microsoft. I may prefer Eudora, but I'll strongly defend the right of all the other email clients to continue to exist. So, it's important for the Macintosh world that we have numerous choices of email clients.
#Powermail leads software
As it has become one of the major forms of communication in today's society, email has turned into a tremendously personal task, and the software you use to read email reflects your individual preferences and uses. One of our goals with last week's poll was to show people the wide variety of email clients available for the Macintosh. Poll Results: Your Preferred Mac Email Client
