Though I’m happy enough with OS X Mail.app, I am always on the look-out for great new freeware mail programs for the Mac that can out-do it. The most intriguing new kid on the block is Correo, which promises to blend Mozilla’s Thunderbird mail client with the beautiful interface of Camino, my favorite web browser ever.

It’s definitely early in its development cycle, but I’m interested to see where this goes. I love the features of Thunderbird, but its poor performance on my computer and bizarre non-standard UI always kept me from switching fully. Correo definitely appears to address the second part of that problem, at least. Once it gets above 0.5, I’m going to give it a shop. Anyone else tried it yet?

    Once it gets above 0.5? What does that magic number mean to you? It’s not like there’s some standardization on version numbers or anything. Gmail’s still in beta. Corel Draw’s up to like, number 17, and it still sucks.

    Use it or don’t. But waiting for version 0.5 is just silly.

    I agree with Josh. Is there a magic number that we like? It isn’t like it was made by Microsoft!
