None that I can see.

"Very useful productivity tool"
Version: Mail Act-On 2.1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This Mail plug-in has increasingly become one of my most valued productivity tools in direct proportion to my email volume. Very helpful in getting my Inbox to Empty.
Unlike a previous reviewer, I do not find Mail Act-On complex, neither to set up, nor especially to use. It is a delight.
In fact, I just experienced a glitch â?? whether due to 2.1.1 or an Apple update â?? which rendered MAO unresponsive. This issue has served to highlight how much I love this simple utility. The issue is reported on Indev's website, and I am confident that a fix will be forthcoming soon. -
"Overdeveloped and Overpriced"
Version: Mail Act-On 2.0.5
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Originally a nice simple add-on for email. It did its job well. It was simple to set up. It was free. Five stars in every category.
The developer revamps MAO for Leopard and forgets what made MAO great. Simple, reliable and free becomes complicated, problematic and overpriced.
A better strategy would have been to offer two versions: a simple 10 version (nobody begrudges the developer a reasonable return on his efforts) comparable (in ease of use and options) to the original MAO and this much more complicated, overdeveloped for the masses, version.
Until then, RIP MAO.

"New Interface? New Program?"
Version: Mail Act-On 2.0.5
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Looks the author wanted to start from scratch rather than improving a small but very effective helper app. Now its three trigger keys instead of one (F1-F3) you cannot modify them and there are secondary keys with and without CTRL key pressed and.... . This is simply too much and too much different from V1. Although I like the new Outbox Rules I will stick with the more simple and elegant V1.
And yes, 25$ is far to much for a program add-on! -
"Don't like v.2, yuck"
Version: Mail Act-On 2.0.5
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This was a nice clean cheap SIMPLE app that provided me useful keystroke shortcuts for more than a year; now I'm afraid the author got greedy and killed it. $25 is WAY too expensive, the interface is now complicated and non-Mac (you have to use function keys?!?), and, well, I don't like it. As a shareware donator on the old version, I also bristle at having another $25 demanded -- it is commercial and not shareware when there is a 21-day time limit to fork over the dough. A shame. Uninstalling after ten minutes. Alternatives anyone? -
"Great update"
Version: Mail Act-On 2.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Good lord people. First, it's $19.95. But take a look at this update. Significant new features, including the AMAZING addition of Outgoing mail rules. I would have paid $20 for any utility that gave me this single feature. Great work, easily worth the price. -
"Great, but Leopard Mail disables it."
Version: Mail Act-On 1.3.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Have been using and benefitting from this app for a while, especially in dealing with junk mail (I like to DELETE it rather than trashing it, as I keep all my trash). Leopard Mail disables it on launch and advises the used to contact the developer, so perhaps the current version does work and Apple is concerned third-party plug-ins will make it look bad. Along with the death of Classic, another unwelcome loss of backward compatibility that makes me wonder whether I should have waited for 15.1, or not upgraded at all. -
"Wonderful!"
Version: Mail Act-On 1.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I love this little utility. It has worked flawlessly for me (IMAP account). With rules, Smart Mailboxes, and now Mail Act-On, my ability to organize and locate email messages has jumped 100-fold. -
"Good idea but somewhat brittle with IMAP"
Version: Mail Act-On 1.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
It's a nice plug-in, but keeps crashing my Mail. Could be because I am using an IMAP server; may work just fine for the majority using POP servers.
I've tried to narrow it down, and it seems that there's a problem in handling network operations (ops that change folders on IMAP server). May be it tries to show an updated window after a fixed amount of time, and if the operation takes longer, something bad happens.
Would it be possible to make it single key (instead of entering the quote first)?
