CTM Development has released a public beta of the heavy duty e-mail client, PowerMail. Version 3.0b3 has been released, and addresses a number of stability issues found in previous versions. According to CTM Development:

What are the long-term objectives of PowerMail ?
Offer a lean, mean and efficient alternative e-mail client for people who care about e-mail
Focus on offering a state-of-the-art Macintosh user-experience
Contribute to the ongoing diversity of mail clients on the Mac
Evolve our new code foundation on a regular basis to meet user needs more quickly
Recognize the value in our user's data and offer reliable storage, high-speed indexing and the ability to export to a variety of standard formats
Excel in supporting multi-lingual, word-wide mail users
Among some of the many bug fixes in this version include:
Fixed a pretty serious Kanji incompatibility
Fixed crash when selecting "Show header" while no message was being displayed
The counters which would display negative numbers have been fixed
There is a now message in the "Empty mail trash" progress dialog instead of just ":"
Upon exporting the Out tray, the "Date modified" was changed!
Fixed bug in the base64 encoder for message bodies, which was meant to cut lines at 76 characters
Fixed bug when hiding the preview pane, where the whole browser would turn grey
Importing from non-Japanese Eudora mailbox files could freeze
Found one case in which Claris Emailer import could time-out. There are others yet to be identified.
Fixed the fact that the "Welcome" window would show under the Import assistant on first launch if you had an old version of PowerMail
