I can do you a top two (everything else is equal third) 1.) SpamSieve.
It's a shareware junk mail filter that makes extensive use of AppleScript to work seamlessly with the end-user's preferred email client. I've had it installed for about a month, and already it looks like the best 25 bucks I ever spent. A while back, Entourage X was becoming so overwhelmed by the 300+ spam messages winging my way daily that I took the desperate measure of trying to use the OS X Mail app, with it's hugely superior spam-spotting capabilities, as a junk mail filter for Entourage. It wasn't an entirely satisfactory setup. Now I feel as if I have been given back full and proper use of Entourage by the miracle of SpamSieve. I'm aware, incidentally, that the new(ish) Entourage 2004 is much improved when it comes to dealing with junk mail, but after recently migrating away from Word as my primary writing tool, and having no use for the other components of MS Office, I'm not about to shell out for the full Office upgrade. I'm fully confident, however, that Microsoft's Mac division will be making an Entourage-only upgrade available for around 30 bucks any day now. 2.) Export HTML. This is my own script for dealing with certain regular emails that I receive in html format (eg, daily news bulletins, local cinema listings, technical newsletters...). The script writes the contents of these messages to files that are linked to 'buttons' on my local home page. The point of all this is that the messages in question always contain numerous url links, and following these from within Entourage involves repeatedly switching back and forth between email client and browser, which is not cool. With the 'Export HTML' script wired into my mail-sorting rules, the latest 'edition' is always there on my home page, and easy to navigate back to.
