Liked it, just not what I was looking for.

Pros
I like the interface and it did what it said it would.
Cons
It was more of an email client than I needed. Like an Outlook alternative.

@technogeek3000: I'm only a fellow user and of course moderator. In no other way do I represent Poco Systems. I'm from Belgium (Dutch), so excuse me about the words I use in my posts or replies. I'm limited to the way I would like to express myself. As for the Palm sync, it's been abandoned. Not because PSI didn't want to continue, but because of the problems PalmOne is giving to developers by not releasing the API's. Not only does this apply to this Palm sync beta, but to Palm devices as well. :-/ I admit PSI should take down that page, since it's no longer planned on their agenda. We, moderators, provide as many help as we possibly can. Official support has been improved a lot, since Tomas took over. :-) As for the software itself, it runs great here, although it does have some little bugs, but then again which software doesn't have bugs.

STOP! and read the Poco Forums before you even download.

Pros
Looks good
Cons
Barca web site claims Palm sync and has a download for it. There is no support for this feature, and Barca forum requests for assistance go unanswered. Based on the Barca site claim that the Palm sync feature works, I spent a several hours finding out that it doesn't work. Take a good look around the Barca forum on the Poco web site before you buy this program. I am glad I did. The attitude of Poco Systems is best seen in the CNET post by Eldarwyn which is Eric, a moderator at the Poco Forums. It begins with "Pity." Pity the fool who actually pays for Barca is more like it.

Pros
where do I start. easy to use, rich featured , everything is right there, no confusing sub-sub menu. TABS!!! it creates tabs dependng on what u click so u can lets say go back to your adresses without closing your focus on certain email.planner is totally amazing. very intuitive , drag and plan features, color coded , i mean u got to try ourself..
Cons
not found. except its not free, but then again its worth the 50 something bucks.

Pros
Very nice interface and initially seems impressive, so I bought it.
Cons
As time goes by you realise there are more and more quirks and bugs. It's then you find out the supposed support from the software developer for registered users is non-existant. DON'T BUY IT - I really wish I hadn't!
Summary
Very best email client!

Pros
It works very quickly and efficiently. I used Outlook before and will never go back. It is one of the most customizable programs available today and I think will over take outlook in the future.
