The pricing is simply ridiculous. We like Post.Office 3.1.2 very much. But,
at that sort of price, there is no way we are going to even consider
upgrading. Most vendors give their customers free, or very low cost,
upgrades within version types. Apparently Software.com doesn't think this
way, and doesn't care about customer loyalty. This pricing structure will
drive customers away in droves.

I'm in full agreement with you. It should have been a free upgrade for 3.x
customers. Their pricing is leading us to IMail faster than Software.com
would have ever believed.
