Because Pluto is a text database (which happens to have had added an 
email facility added), whereas Messenger Pro is a real email client.

Only one of the two is currently still developed, so these type of 
issues that Russell and others have are going to increase.

Pro as intended.

But its your choice and you have to live with the problems.
