Sorry, not meant for the list. 

That's what I get for using an inferior mail client. :)

>> Compared to the crowd funding experiment I've changed a few things. The goal is now to fund the time needed to finish version 2.0 of MailMate. This requires a minimum of 6 months of 2014 and therefore I've set the initial fixed goal to $25,000. A fixed goal means that I get nothing if the goal is not reached. Anything beyond $25,000 increases the period I am guaranteed to work full time on MailMate. The exact period depends on the regular daily sales, but an estimate based on 2013 is an additional month for every $5,000.

>> That last link was wrong. It should have been: http://igg.me/at/mailmate
>> 
>> Right now the campaign is at $3,197 out of $25,000. That's a bit more than 1/8th of the goal just a few hours into the campaign. Thanks to everyone contributing, tweeting, and/or blogging.
