Does not have the ability to look up node numbers in netmail like Opus
could.
Can only use either a area number OR a area name in the file and message
areas, unlike Opus which could use both (and even multiple area names) at the
same time.
Opus has better files information in the files database.
None of the file area managers I've tried for Max come close to what I've
been used to with Opus-FAM.
Max 3.0x's changes broke the Xpress offline mail door, which was working
great with Opus 1.73a.
Probably a few others I've forgotten.
All minor nits of course, and I do currently run Max.
