What are the issues people mention about Mail.app? Are these issues the 'real' pain points, solution to which users are willing to pay? How much? I use Mail.app and feel there is no "painful" issue for which I will be willing to pay to be fixed.

You can always find people who will complain about any product. But the strong enough pain for them to pay and switch is whole another ballgame. Most will shriek away as soon as they have to pay for a product and change their routine/familiarity of using a known bundled product.

> Mailbox.app isn't very good. Mail.app isn't either.

If you lead any discussion or discovery with such statements, you will always find people who agree with the statement. Most are just reflecting with the sentiment in your question/statement. A good example of this behavior is seen on the segment of Jimmy Kimmel's late night TV show. His people go out on street and ask strangers for their opinion on 'obvious make believe' news and statements. The responses of strangers are hilarious.

It is not a particularly good way to validate market.

Heh. I don't want to solve it myself. I want someone to solve it. I will pay $50 for a bug-free version of the previous version of Mailbox.app, today.

Edit: Looks like Mailbox has fixed the app. Nice.
