Have you thought of using the Mail program that comes with OS X? It is a little slow at times, but does a great job of cataloguing your emails for search retrieval later. The junk mail filter can be trained to junk spam mail. Although the spam b**tards are learning to use image content to deliver text that a spam filter can otherwise detect. But it will at least stop all those emails from Nigeria. And it integrates nicely with the Address book program in OS X to manage your email addresses. If someone sends a business card attachment, double-click to auto add their details. The management of attachments it has to be said, is not that intuitive compared to using something like Claris. At first, it can be a little tricky to know how to extract JPEG image attachments. It is easier if someone is sending you a stuffit file of images though.
Hi Y'all.
Being a luddite in the area of e-mail software I had happliy been using
Claris Emailer for many years with no major problems.
OSX has of course forced a change , and in this case not for the better.
Can anybody recommend a mail package that allows me to do my thinking for
myself without automatically presuming and setting such things as file
compression formats,eating my attachments etc.... and, in an ideal world,
