http://www.kaylon.com/power.html (the best bookmark manager I know)
Latest download is dated 12/02/2002, is it still alive?
Yes, Powermarks is still very much alive.  Their most recent versions have been for making Powermarks work with Firefox.  I downloaded build 387 early this year, probably to make Powermarks compatible with Firefox 2.

I wish the topic were "Top 3 programs you use Plus your Email client & Browser..."
I agree.  My top three programs are

1) Clipmate 7 http://www.thornsoft.com/ (if I had to pick just one program, this would be it)
2) Directory Opus 9  http://www.gpsoft.com.au/  (an amazing replacement for Windows Explorer)
3) A tie between Active Words  http://www.activewords.com/ (a macro program on steroids) and Powermarks http://www.kaylon.com/power.html (the best bookmark manager I know)

I also LOVE my email program, Mulberry http://www.mulberrymail.com/ (the best IMAP client I know, and I've tried lots).  If I weren't separating out email clients, I'd put Mulberry up there as my #3 pick.

It is such a pity there aren't any/many? good software review sites, other than DC of course.
One software review site that I've read for several years is the Neat Net Tricks Software Reviews at http://www.neatnettricks.com/SoftwareReviews/.  They have a panel of reviewers; usually between 4 and 6 people review a given piece of software.  Each describes his/her experience with it, what the strengths and weaknesses are, etc.  By having several people reviewing the same software program, you get a better sense than just one person's views and prejudices.  I've bought several programs based on enthusiastic reviews from NNT, and I've never been sorry.

Best E-mail Client / Re: Pegasus Mail?
« on: October 14, 2006, 12:42 PM »
I tried both Pegasus and The Bat! when Mulberry looked as if it wasn't long for this world.  I quickly got rid of The Bat! -- it's really a POP3 client that offers minimal IMAP support, whereas I need a client with excellent IMAP support.  I've kept Pegasus and have been impressed with many of its features, but once Mulberry was resurrected, I stayed with it.  Its IMAP support can't be beat.  I wish I could combine Mulberry's many virtues with Thunderbird's versatility in handling graphics and mis-identified character sets, but if I have to opt for just one program, it's Mulberry.  At least for now.

Best E-mail Client / Re: Mulberry is dead

Mulberry is very much alive!  The extraordinarily talented developer of Mulberry, Cyrus Daboo,
acquired the rights to the program, and he has now made it available for free.   There is also an
active email forum to which Cyrus contributes frequently.  For more information:

I tried a number of other email clients when Mulberry temporarily went belly up.  These trials
made me realize more than ever how terrific Mulberry is.  No other program I know handles IMAP
as well. :Thmbsup:
