[MlMt] Creating rules - cannot get mail sorted to smart mailboxes

[cjones at mitoca.ca]

It would be nice if Benny would change his business model and bring in more help. Having a single developer run the show is not good for many reasons.
 1. Should something happen to Benny (God forbid) then Mailmate is toast
 2. Improve cadence of development so that new features, bug fixes and security changes happen quicker
 3. Potentially adding other protocols (Microsoft Graph API and JMAP come to mind)
As much as I love Mailmate, I've been growing weary of the future of the app. Not that development has completed halted, as we can see there have been updates all the way until August. But because it's been perpetually in a beta cycle, and there is just one developer that does literally everything for the project. Email clients are not easy to develop, so I really hope that Benny will consider changing the business model, and bring in some more developer help.

I honestly think he could do much better by lowering the price or better — moving to a subscription model. The subscription model would provide better insight into MRR (monthly recurring revenue) and this would help him grow the dev team. I'd happily pay a nominal monthly/yearly fee, knowing that there is a development team, a roadmap and some kind of ideas page to track feature requests (that receive votes from customers) to steer development.
