Some points I remember from the time I ditched it (around 3-5 years ago). They may changed them:

  • The payment was linked to the version. Wanna get a new major version = pay for the new license. It's like buying the MS 20xx package but in that case you only have the single client instead of a whole suite. (Ignoring the whole price difference)
  • Client UI wasnt my cup of tea
  • Multi account didnt feel as comfortable as it does feel on outlook.
  • Had some issues connecting my Gmail accounts and keeping them connected. Not aware of any issues with outlook
  • Afaik the database went bad at some point. Maybe imisremember it though

In essence, most issues were personal. Try it for yourself. Maybe the newer version suits you more than me!

Update: Seems like I either misremember it or I bought a license because of a feature (at the time). Anyway: They appear to have changed the licensing for home use to be free and only corporate users need to pay.
