"Nice Alternative to Outlook, but needs more features"
Pros: Easy set-up, easy interface and great search function
Cons: Does not support read receipt email, and it need a better calendar feature
Summary: I was looking for an alternative to Microsoft Outlook, which I have used for over ten years. I have tried many other email programs, but this is the only one I have kept. I have been using it now for about two months and like it. It includes a nice search function and easy features to make organizing messages a breeze. As noted above, however, it does not support read receipt or delivery receipt features, which I used to use frequently. Notwithstanding this, I have continued to use WordPerfect Mail and do like it better than Outlook. I look forward to updates which may incorporate more features.Updated
Well, after another three months using WPMail, I have decided to go back to Outlook (Ugh!) Several glitches I found created problems for me, including the fact there is no way (that I can determine) to configure to delete mail from the server when I download messages. My server ran out of space, as I retain all my messages in nested folders. I also get a lot of attachments and like Outlook's ability to copy attachments and "paste" them into new messages which WPMail does not allow.
Beware - migrating from Outlook to WPMail is easy (it easily imports Outlook messages), but reverse migration is impossible. WPMail uses .mbox format which Outlook does not recognize.
Well, I gave it a good try, but too many issues that I don't have time to deal with, so back to Outlook for me.
