<p dir="auto">Benny,</p>
<p dir="auto">Do you plan to release a detailed ‘Beyond the Basics’ reference document (web pages) on all the extended features of MailMate including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Uses of CLI</li>
<li>Filtering Rules</li>
<li>Plug-ins</li>
<li>Other “Hidden” feature details</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Do you see that as a new tier in the subscription model? Not trying to increase the costs interested to see what the documentation is worth to users. I value complete and full info especially in a subscription model. And for you adding the documentation burden.</p>
<p dir="auto">So far as I see the Patron mode cannot be renewed, rather it is called something different, “Paid Mode.” For myself, I have no problem moving forward in this way and it seems a bit more structured as such.</p>

<p dir="auto">For older license keys, I have these rules: MailMate will stay in “Paid Mode” until 1 July 2025 or 2 years after the original purchase date. Whatever comes last.</p>

<p dir="auto">I'm currently running MailMate version 2.0BETA (6092), 29-Sep-2017, under OS 10.9.5.</p>

<p dir="auto">My guess is that you are the only one using that release :) It's a confusing one of historical origin (and Intel only). A long time ago, I had two branches of MailMate in order to prepare for a major release with new features (to be able to require an upgrade fee). That was dropped and integrated into the 1.x releases, and I felt it was safe to re-use the 2.0 Beta designation for the latest update. I forgot, but I also intended to bump the revision number to r6100 to avoid confusion with old 2.0BETA releases (which used revision numbers in the r6000+ range). I'll do that for the next update. Everyone else should just ignore the above. It's relevant to at most a handful of people.</p>

<p dir="auto">My license key was issued on 2-Jan-2014. I will soon be building another system, on OS 10.12 or 10.13, for which the new rules will be fine, but what happens to MailMate on my existing 10.9 system, which I want to keep no matter what..?</p>

<p dir="auto">The new pricing/license model does not affect any earlier releases of MailMate. Important old releases are always available here: <a href="https://updates.mailmate-app.com/archives/" style="color: #777777;">https://updates.mailmate-app.com/archives/</a></p>
<p dir="auto">It's easier to see a list of old releases for earlier versions of macOS here: <a href="https://freron.com/download/" style="color: #777777;">https://freron.com/download/</a></p>

<p dir="auto">Similarly, what if I wanted to use an older build of Mailmate on the new system?</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">You can always use older releases of MailMate with any license key for MailMate.</p>

<ul>
<li>The difference between “Paid Mode” and “Free Mode” is minimal. The end of paid mode does not mean the end of using MailMate.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">May I ask, what exactly is the difference? I'm asking because, while I want you to enjoy a long and happy life, what happens in the rare event that you don't?</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">The difference is described here: <a href="https://freron.com/pricing" style="color: #777777;">https://freron.com/pricing</a></p>
