And that is: why do you use Emailer? my answer is simple - even in OS X - text filesI use v1.1.3 of emailer and it saves every filed email as a text - the folder interface is siimply an alternative interface into the folders in the finder. since it is all saved as text - just about any program - including wierd things that you would never think about using for reading email (like Freehand) can access it. As of my last search - there is no other program that does this
My response, Eudora. Because it uses text files, like v1.1.3, it, searches incredibly fast, searches with many options, backs up faster because it is backing up only files that were changed - not the entire DB. Also, because it is text based, I can "save as" any message to my desktop, which I now do with calender items I want to look at but are not critical.
And, while I love Emailer, after recently returning to Eudora, it aint that bad...
Eudora has it's own scheme for viewing HTML without acknowledging the picture links that always made OE dial up my dial-up against my wishes. I can again see the nice colored and emphasized text, but it comes across to Emailer, unchanged. SO I am sitting in the best of both worlds with Eudora. Stopping the offense of sending or getting spammed by, intrusive HTML. And, seeing the occasional "cute" holiday graphic or stylized text in an email.
And more... and more.
Emailer still uses AppleScripts for Mail Actions as an option. Eudora does not. Emailer organizes mail actions much better than Eudora does, And when I click on a folder in Eudora, I don't instantly get to see what it's contents are. I have to double click on it. That said, I now have Eudora set up to open any mailbox that received some mail. SO all I have to do is scroll through each mailbox, deal with it, close it, and the next, etc. As I said, it's really not that bad.
