Re: Well
For those who have never tried it, oddpost has about the best UI of any email client I have ever used (web-based or stand alone application). Clean, powerful and elegant. It had a superb junk mail filter, a great drag-and-drop based interface model, and absolutely no garish branding or ads of any kind. Oddpost was so good, in fact, that I ditched my mail clients and let it handle all my email accounts.
I also have a Gmail account and can't fathom how a giant like Google, with armies of developers and millions of dollars can't even come close the quality features and user experience 2 guys working out of coffee shops were able to produce.
Its very disheartening how frequently marketing trumps quality. We'll miss you Oddpost. | |

| I hope Yahoo will make it work on more than just IE. GMail works great, has cross-browser capability, has a lot of app-based feel (unlike most other webmail apps), and has SSL encryption for the entire session.
By sticking to just IE, Oddpost's developers can just use IE-specific extensions to provide their required functionality (I never used it, so cannot comment if it uses a .dll, ActiveX, or Java; though if they are using Java, why limit to just IE?). | |
