If you are like me and are using iTools only for e-mail--*free* e-mail--and do not want to pay for the other services, SEND APPLE SOME FEEDBACK!!

I think this was a huge mistake by Apple. And its a mistake I won't live with. If they don't offer a free e-mail option, I'll go elsewhere for e-mail.
While this seems simple enough, it will cause problems for Apple in the long run. People don't want to switch their e-mail, but most don't want to pay for the priviledge of using an iTools account. Sure, its easy and integrates well with Mac OS. But its 100 dollar one time fee (no payment plan available).
What is going to happen is that many people are going to migrate their e-mail and will get ticked off because of it. They'll have to inform people of their new address, switch all of their subscription e-mails, etc. They'll probably forget some friends and subscriptions so they'll lose some e-mail.
None of this is a very Mac-like experience. This just stinks.
I'd even consider buying the full service if they offered a free service too. I just can't support this big mistake.
