Hello all. Due to my recent problems with my e-mail program, I am now motivated to write my own
E-Mail program using Visual Basic. Not wanting all of that effort to go unreimbursed, I want to sell
it to others. For this reason, I ask you now what features you need and want in an e-mail client. I
figure that many of you out there use e-mail enough to know exactly what you want.

Some of the features I have though of so far:

-Mail stored in Access database for easy integration with Office products.
-Ability to define message encoding on a per-contact or per-group basis (eg. all mailing lists are
plain text, but my buddy is HTML mail)
-Mail received on one account is sent back out with a return address and SMTP server defined for
that account
        -so if I get mail on my Bigfoot account, it gets sent out over bigfoot with my bigfoot address, if
I want - not my ISP address / server
-Support for multiple users
-Ability to receive Hotmail, Yahoo! mail (maybe)
-E-mail checking applet (low memory usage) running in system tray to alert you of new mail (so you
don't have to have the whole program running to get mail)
-A full-featured, ad-bearing version for those who want all the features, but are too cheap to pay.

Any other ideas?

-Randy
