The OS/2 version, for me at least, has been fairly good.  It
*does* have a few quirks (like loosing messages, requiring a
re-index and re-download of the lost messages).  But these have
been quite manageable.  For the most part it's been relatively
trouble-free on my machine.  It does share a common message base
with the Windoze version, but that doesn't seem to cause any
problems. (E.G. both the windows and OS/2 versions are installed
into the same directory on a common-mapped drive on a relatively
fast (550mHz) Warp 4.52 machine.  When I fire-up the windows
machine it looks at that commonly mapped drive to run PMMailW
from the directory shared by the OS/2 version.  (Only one
version can run at at any given time for obvious reasons.
Semaphores prevent 2 concurrent runs. )

I do look forward to that, Hayo.  It will be interesting to see
what it looks and performs like coming from a somewhat common
source code.

Best regards,
Marc
