  Pros: It looks , and from the reviews sounds like it will be great, if I can ever get it to work.

  Cons: It is supposed to automatically detect my current email service provider, settings, etc. but it didn't. I tried the manual setup but that didn't work either. Perhaps my knowledge is insuffient to do the manual setup,

  Summary: After threee attempts I have given up. Maybe the final release will be better. I have a fairly common email provider and preferences and even completely disabled my firewall and AV for one attempt. Oh well....
