## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace MXroute you would be making an email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 121 of the 122 other email apps grade higher. It costs $59 a year.

- You could make: Calendar: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: An email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail.
