MailForge overview

Note: MailForge is no longer being actively developed.

MailForge was built from the ground up for OS X and designed to be a power user's email client, providing users with a host of features not commonly found in other email programs, such as the ability to edit every facet of received emails, scheduled sending of email, tabbed or multi-window interface, HTML vs text options, menu navigation of mailboxes, etc.

Harnessing the power of SQLite, MailForge also offers significant performance advantages, ranging from the ability to have a virtually unlimited number of emails in a single mailbox, to search capabilities that offer near instantaneous results. Even routine tasks, such as moving tens of thousands of emails from one mailbox to another, takes only seconds.

While MailForge already has a wide range of features, in the coming weeks and months we will be working hard to continue adding a large number of significant features and abilities to the program. For those interested in future development of MailForge

MailForge is available for $19.95 per user, with discounted rates for volume customers.

Dead. "It's our regret that we weren't able to deliver the MailForge that we envisioned. Thank you to everyone who supported our attempt at continuing the promise that MailForge held." http://forum.macsimizesoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=624

Years and years and years of promises and it still doesn't work.

As a Eudora user since the demise of Apple's original mail client, I was hopeful that Mailforge would fulfill its promise as a full fledged, OSX friendly replacement for Eudora. I paid back in 2010 and have been utterly disappointed with each release I tried. Specifically as others have noted, MF fails on import despite having compacted the Eudora mailboxes. I remain minimally optimistic and hopeful that MF will live up to its hype as a modern Eudora. In the meanwhile I'm still in Eudora and Snow Leopard.

STILL not ready for prime time. 3.2.2.0 mysteriously exits under very minor stresses.

I wouldn't waste one second with this application. Even if you can get it work -- which is highly unlikely -- it's not very good.
