"Wonderful!"
Version: GyazMail 1.1.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
A superb program that trounces Mail, amazingly. Where does the programmer find the time to do it? One suggestion though, when closing a message that I don't want to continue with, it's customary for programs to sense command D (for "don't save") as the no, I don't want to save option. Adding this to the program would be so nice for me. -
"WOW!"

A superb e-Mail client for the Mac! We worth the modest shareware fee! Each version reflects the author's emphasis on quality and features. Perfect for both personal and SOHO use! -
"Better and better"
Version: GyazMail 1.1.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
GyazMail has one feature I've come to rely on -- it applies "filters" BEFORE downloading mail from the server, and it applies "rules" AFTER downloading. This lets you take advantage of 3rd party spam filtering (such as Pobox.com's) which adds a spam rating to the subject lines of likely offenders, and refuse to download suspected offenders. You can inspect, delete or receive at your option. Then, AFTER downloading, you can apply rules to sort your incoming mail into mailboxes, or whatever. If you trust your 3rd party spam filter (ISP's are notorious for getting it seriously wrong -- perhaps because policy is set by the same 20-somethings who do the programming), you can automatically delete-from-server without having to download or inspect headers manually. -
"Fantasic alternative!"
Version: GyazMail 1.0.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This application is far more advanced than I would have expected from a single developer; in many ways it is more complete than Apple's Mail. Attention to detail is apparent in both the versatile and slick GUI as well as the solid performance of this Cocoa gem. Reminiscent of Claris Emailer, this young application is easy to use and very customizable. With both rules and filters GyazMail easily supports SpamAssassin and similar server-side junk mail solutions, to log and delete spam *without* the need to download it to your machine. I check six POP accounts 24/7 and find the performance impressive: small memory and CPU footprint with a powerful punch. After just 24 hours I'm ready to buy my copy -- it's that good -- and I have both Mail.app and Entourage already at my disposal. When HTML is supported I will leave it turned off; IMAP is welcome but not a big selling point for me. I highly recommend GyazMail and look forward to the continued development. -
"Sugoi! GyazMail Dai-suki!"
Version: GyazMail 1.0.2
Summary

Ask any English speaking Mac user who uses Eudora to define frustration, and he'll give you an earful. Eudora for OS X, though it is good, is a processor hog and apparently goes out of its way to kill support for sending Japanese through Eudora, to support the Japanese companies that make the Eudora Japanese versions. I use Eudora to receive mail and then send it with GyazMail, in the case of sending Japanese mail. It works flawlessly and is snappy, fun to use, and looks great. If anyone can tell me that it's possible to import 7-8 years of Eudora mailboxes into GyazMail, I will try it and probably switch forever! -
"Very impressed!"
Version: GyazMail 0.9.9.9.4
Summary

I've been in a quandry about email clients lately. Entourage X corrupted my mailbox in such a frightening way (sending out randomly-chosen emails from my Inbox when trying to send attachments), Eudora never seems to add any features I want, and Mail.app has severe problems with attachments, as well as lack of UI control.
So, I was extremely happy to be turned onto GyazMail as an alternative. It contains nearly every feature I'm looking for and is not nearly as bloated as EntX. And, it's got so much control over its behavior! Oh, and changing outgoing mailservers is easy and very accessible. Smart, considering that I use this app on my PowerBook.
My recent attempts to switch email clients resulted in trying Mail.app, MailSmith, and Eudora, but none lasted more than a few hours. I've been in GyazMail for a few days now and have not seen any reason to look back.
And, the best feature of all is the Dogcow in the customizable toolbar! My OS X life is complete now. Moof! -
"Great tool !"

GREAT !!!
I had to switch to another program because my ISP needed a name/pass login for outgoing mail but Mail.app couldn't hack it for me... luckily I found GyazMail.
Totally configurable and the rules and filters are a breeze to create and use. The built-in ability to play different alerts for differnt mail accounts or senders is fantastic.
Highly recommended and I'll pay the shareware fee gladly especially since the author is very reponsive to emails and suggestions! -
"Why..."
Version: GyazMail 0.9.9.9.4

...haven't I tried this before? It's smooth as butta. Please give us HTML support and I'll be in hog heaven. Still giving it 5, though! -
"Still the best."
Version: GyazMail 0.9.9.9.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This is still the best mail application available on OS X and there's no sign of the others catching up. Once you've tried it, you're unlikely to ever use Mail.app again. -
"This is a great program"
Version: GyazMail 0.9.9.9.3
Summary

Yeah, people should stop complaining. This is a great example of why macs are awesome - you have shareware that rivals the quality of commercial apps. For people that want Spam filtering, set up POPFile. It's easy to install/get working if you are a little comfortable with the command line, and it does what mail.app does for spam for any number of categories. And the latest version of Gyaz correctly uses the added headers from POPFile to apply rules to.As for HTML mail, if I were the author, I'd just wait for WebCore to be finished/released as an official framework. (just a guess...)
One of my favorite features of this app is a seemingly no-brainer, but when you have mail that automatically filters to a mail folder that's not the inbox, it still shows up in the dock new mail counter. That's always bugged me about mail.app.
It's got a few rough edges still - I like the mail.app unified inbox paradigm a bit better, and I like how mail toggles "reply" and "reply all" when you're composing a message, but I'll gladly trade those (and IMAP support, which is missing but not really critical for me) for SPEED, which on my iBook 500, is significantly better. Just in little things like switching between messages, dragging messages to folders, moving folders. When I've gone back to use mail.app again it's unbearable slow. I hadn't realized how much I was missing.
One last feature - I love how it doesn't force you to alphabetize your folders - you can have them in whatever order you like. And you can navigate through them with the keyboard. Cool.
