Sarah, Info Select had some unique abilities and infuriating quirks. I do miss it though, but not for email. It was largely replaced by Ultra Recall and InfoQube. My email has always been handled by The Bat. I sometimes need to lay out my thoughts/research/work in a more graphic form and for me, Freeplane works well. From time to time I use NoteCase (also with some unique and infuriating features) and MyInfo (version 6. Version 7 is appealing but still lacks many of the features I use in 6). Writing is with WhizFolders and increasingly Scrivener.
