Mac OS X Mail

(OS X)

One of revolutionary features in MAC OS X is a powerful email client built right into Apple's new operating system.

OS X Jaguar's built-in Mail app now helps you deal as powerfully and efficiently with the email you don’t want as it does the email you care about. It comes with sophisticated built-in junk mail (spam) filtering that uses adaptive latent semantic analysis to identify and nail junk mail messages and simple controls you need to train it to agree with your view of what’s junk and what’s not — like the Junk button in the Toolbar that lets you so label any messages you choose, and the Not Junk override that appears on any message either you or the built-in filter labeled. When you’re satisfied that you and the filter are on the same page, checking the Automatic option sends everything the filter identifies straight to a junk mail folder which you can set to empty automatically either daily, weekly, monthly or whenever you quit Mail.

There’s more, like the ability to easily spot all the messages in a reply thread, plus more powerful and flexible rule making for automatically handling mail you receive regularly, But the new Jaguar version of Mail is also about greater simplicity too, especially when it comes to the task of viewing and dealing with your email when you have more than one account. It’s easy to see all your incoming email in a single Inbox, or to open that inbox like you open a list view folder in the Finder so you can select each account individually.

Saving particular messages for the record — travel confirmations, for instance, or online order correspondence — regardless of the account they came to is simply a matter of dragging them to any of the mailbox folders you create, and you can create as many you find useful. When you need to search for something later, you can now search for messages across all your mailbox folders at once.

Mac OS X Mail has from the beginning supported drag and drop attachments from the Finder and the automatic display of photos in the messages themselves. Chat with MailNow that system integration has been extended to include QuickTime, so you can watch QuickTime movies right in the message instead of in a disconnected window belonging to a different app. And Mail’s integration with Address Book and iChat lets you see from within Mail who you could reach via iChat.

Mail has borrowed and enhanced Eudora 5's on the fly spell checking. When you type in a word Mail doesn’t recognize, the program underlines the questionable word. Simply control-click on it, and a popup menu appears offering you correct spellings to choose from. That's very cool.

With Mail, you can also drop attachments directly into your messages. Just drag a sound file, image or movie to the body of your message, and that’s it. It’s loaded. Your enclosure is ready for sending. Also cool.

Mailsmith 1.5.4

(OS X; Classic PPC)

Built for Mac OS X and Mac OS 9, Mailsmith can directly import your stored mail from Claris Emailer, Eudora, and Apple Mail. It can also import individual mailboxes saved in the standard 'mbox' format (which most other email clients can export)

Mailsmith incorporates the text editing power and functionality of our flagship product, BBEdit. Like BBEdit, Mailsmith's text editing architecture is scriptable and extensible. In short, if you like writing text in BBEdit, you'll love writing email in Mailsmith. Mailsmith's composition features include:

• Glossary -- insert frequently used text snippets with a single mouse click or keystroke.
• Quoted Text Rewrapper -- Cleans up poorly formatted messages.
• Configurable Keyboard Shortcuts -- Mailsmith allows you to change (or remove) the keyboard shortcuts for any menu command, AppleScript, Glossary item, or Plug-In.
• Multiple Clipboards

Mailsmith makes email filtering both easy and powerful. There is no limit on the number of criteria to match against or actions to take. Criteria can match against any header, the contents of the message body, as well as many other message properties. You can put together powerful, multi-criteria filters with just a few mouse clicks. Plus, filters can take advantage of Mailsmith's powerful grep pattern matching engine, which provides a Perl-compatible regular expression syntax.

Filter actions can do a lot more than simply moving messages from one mailbox to another. They can apply message labels, play sounds, and much more. Filters can even run AppleScripts.

Not only is Mailsmith a scriptable mail client -- giving you scripting access to checking mail, sending messages, and moving messages between mailboxes -- but it's also a fully scriptable text editor. Most AppleScripts written for BBEdit work in Mailsmith.

Plus, because Mailsmith is recordable, you don't have to know how to program in AppleScript to create scripts of your own. To start recording a new script, just choose Start Recording from Mailsmith's Script menu.

SpamCop menu screenshot One technique for fighting back against spammers is to report their activity to the administrators of their ISPs and network providers. Mailsmith makes this easy, by offering direct integration with SpamCop, a free online service that sends reports to spammers' administrators for you.

Mozilla

(OS X; Classic PPC up to current version 1.2.1)

Mozilla is an open-source Web Browser that includes a very capable email client module. Mozilla provides underpinnings of the Netscape 6 and 7 series of browsers. It includes all of the main features of Netscape 6-7.x, including the Mail client.

Be forewarned, Mozilla is pretty big and RAM-hungry, but it's a fast, powerful browser as well as an email client.

With the Mozilla 1.3 release, Mozilla Mail now has basic junk mail classification capabilities. This means you can train your client to distinguish between good mail and junk mail. See the release notes for more info.

Mozilla 1.3a contains several new Mail and Newsgroup features and fixes.

• Mozilla Mail now has basic junk-mail classification capabilities. This means you can train your client to distinguish between good mail and junk-mail. For this first release the junk-mail controls can mark a message as junk but automatic deleting has not been enabled. To learn more about this new feature check out the Mozilla Spam Filters info page.
• This release also contains some great new filtering tools. We now have new multiple actions for filters so you can do things like moving and labeling at the same time and newsgroup filters have also been implemented.
• Message Views is a new Mozilla Mail feature which will help users locate, organize and prioritize their mail messages. A View is used to filter and display only those messages matching a given set of criteria. Mozilla ships with a set of pre-defined Views, but users can also create their own.
• We have improved interoperability with certain imap servers (especially iMail) and ACL problems on Cyrus servers have been fixed.
• The Mail team also fixed the problem with biff not working on accounts you haven't logged onto and Message Search on the body of local messages doesn't lock up the UI anymore

Mozilla is transitioning the Mac Classic (OS 8.x and 9.x) build to Mozilla Port status. This means that mozilla.org won't be making official Classic builds beginning with 1.3alpha. For 1.3alpha (but probably not later releases) users of OS 9 with carbonlib can use the OS X (CFM) build. To use the CFM OSX builds on OS 9 follow these steps: Download and unstuff the binary. Open the disk image. Drag the Mozilla folder to your desktop. Open the folder and double-click on the Mozilla.app file.

System requirements:
• Mac OS 9.1 or later
• PowerPC processor (266 MHz or faster recommended)
• 64 MB RAM
• 36 MB of free hard disk space
• QuickTime (Bug 59059)
• ContextualMenu Library (Bug 150018)

Mulberry 3.0

(OS X; Classic PPC)

Mulberry is a high-performance, scalable, and graphically groovy internet mail client. It uses the IMAP (IMAP4rev1, IMAP4, and IMAP2bis) protocol for accessing mail messages on a server, the standard SMTP protocol for sending messages, and does lots and lots of things with MIME parts for mixed text and "attachments" of many different types of files and data. The Mulberry v3.0 release is now available. This brand new release features a redesigned UI that provides an optional 3-pane layout as well as preview panes for other windows. Version 3.0 introduces support for a new optional 3-pane window mode, as well as many other features, enhancements and fixes.

Mulberry v3.0 features include:
• New look user interface with standard toolbar look-and-feel.
• New optional 3-pane window layout in addition to the traditonal (v2) separate windows mode. Can toggle between modes on the fly.
• Tabbed mailbox pane in 3-pane mode allows quick switching between multiple open mailboxes.
• All actions for trigger preview and full view of mailboxes, messages, address books etc fully configurable.
• Separate mailbox and address book windows now have optional preview pane.
• New-look address book window with configurable columns and click-on-column sorting.

• Now supports processing and requesting or read-receipts.
• Many, many fixes and lesser enhancements.

Musashi 3.4.1

(OS X; Classic PPC; Classoc 68k)

Musashi supports basic email client functions as well as many more useful and unique features including message searching and message filtering, and is one of the few currently deveoped email clients that still supports 68k Macs.

Since Musashi is multi-user compatible, multiple users can share one Musashi application. This is very powerful in small-medium office (including SOHO) where three or four persons share on Macintosh. Of course the data of each user is protected by password.

Musashi is multi-account compatible. This is very useful for the person who use multiple ISP or has multiple email addresses. There is no annoyance operation to switch account settings.

You can customize the graphical user interface of Musashi with module.

Musashi is very useful and powerful. But it is very small application, and another of a select few that runs on older Macintoshes (e.g. 68K Macintosh like LC series) smoothly.

Other Features:
• Drag & drop operation
• Background send and receive and searching and filtering are also supported
• filtering
• Runs with 2 MB RAM partition
• Musashi is powerful. But it is very small application. So it runs on old type Macintosh (e.g. 68K Macintosh like LC series) smoothly.

System requirements:
• System 7 - OS X
Musashi is $33 shareware.

Netscape 7.1

(OS X; Classic PPC)

Netscape 7.1 is the full zoot, "commercial," AOL-ized version of Mozilla, and includes a Web browser (Navigator); HTML authoring environment (Composer); a POP 3 email client (Mail) as well as a newsreader and instant messenger.

In configuration it is thus similar to older versions of Netscape, but it is an entirely new application from the ground up, based on the open source Mozilla browser.

Netscape Mail is a powerful and complete tool you can rely on to manage email the way you want.

Enhanced Performance
Quick Search
Mail Alerts
Mail Labels
Easy Filter Setup
Get Map from Address Book
Easy Importing from Other Mail Programs
Support for AOL Mail or Free Netscape Mail

Enhanced Mail Performance, makes Netscape 7.1 Netscape's fastest e-mail product ever.
Back to top

Quick Search lets you find an e-mail address or message within your e-mail inbox lightning-fast. Type only a few letters in the Quick Search field, and matching results come up based on the subject line or sender-instantly.

Like Quick Search in Mail, Quick Search in Address Book locates a name instantly without needless scrolling.
Back to top

Mail Alerts give discreet notification of new e-mail messages in your computer's system tray-even if you don't have Netscape open on your desktop.

Mail Labels let you organize your inbox or folders with color and categories that you set, such as "ASAP", "To Do", "Personal", or a project name. You can then sort by Label to help you prioritize or find a message.

Easy Mail Filter Set-up offers an easy and personalized way to organize incoming e-mail or quickly send spam messages to the trash.
Back to top

Get Map from within an address card serves up immediate results from MapQuest so getting directions is fast and convenient from your Address Book.
Back to top

Importing Mail from other programs is easy. Netscape 7.0 offers all-in-one import of e-mail messages, account settings and address books from other mail programs such as Eudora, Outlook and Outlook Express.
Back to top

Support for AOL Mail or Free Netscape Mail within Netscape 7.01 Mail includes a simple to use Wizard that let's you configure AOL Mail (if you are a member) or a free Netscape.com mail account. AOL members can also take advantage of important AOL mail features such as the ability to unsend messages, check message status, and mark mail as unread.
Back to top

Does Netscape 7.1 work as an email client? Well, if you like all your eggs in one basket, so to speak, this (or Netscape Communicator 4.8) is your application. I prefer the "purer" Mozilla version, but that's a personal choice.

System requirements:
Mac OS 8.6, 9.x (9.1 and later recommended)
Mac OS X (10.1.x recommended)
Mac OS 10.2
PowerPC 604e-equipped Mac running at 266MHz
64MB RAM
36MB available hard disk space

Netscape 7.1 is freeware.

If you would rather use one of the most fully developed, albeit a bit dated, pieces of Internet software, try Netscape Communicator 4.8, which is still available, and includes the same suite of applications as Netscape 7.1.

The much older and pokier Communicator 4.08 is also still available to support 680x0 Macs.

Nisus Email 1.6.1

(OS X; Classic PPC)

One of the Mac email clients that I use every day is Nisus Email, which, in the Nisus tradition, offers features distinctly different from any other e-mail program.

Among these, the most unique are Nisus Email's ability to integrate its functions with virtually any text-crunching program, and to send chunks of dragged and dropped text or attached files with just a couple of mouse clicks.

Working from a word-processor or text editor, you have access to much wider variety of text formatting and proofing functions than even in powerful e-mail client Eudora 5.0.1.

Nisus Email is one of the easiest Mac email clients to send quick messages with. After all, how hard is it to drag and drop text from any word processor or text editor to Nisus Email's contact icon and swoosh! Away it goes!

Integration with a word processor makes sending email from your favorite word processor ("Nisus Writer is my favorite..." repeat that over and over) as easy as saving a file. Instead of using your email client to compose messages, use your word processor.

Nisus Email also has several ways in which you can send emails from within other applications. In fact, any application that supports either Drag and Drop or file saving can be used to email a file or message. All this is done quickly and without leaving the application you are currently working in.

Nisus Email 1.6.1 is a free update for those who have already purchased Nisus Email. New since 1.5.1:
• OSX version now available.
• Better automatic conversion of HTML to plain text.
• SMTP authorization supported, for example: your mac.com email account. (SMTP AUTH extension using the "login" and "plain" SASL mechanisms).
• Incoming emails with foreign character set encodings are automatically displayed in the proper font if possible.

Nisus Email is like any standard email client in that it manages your emails, but the similarities end there. The most noticeable difference is a tiny global window that always stays visible no matter what application you are in. This window is the main interface with Nisus Email. This means that where ever you are, Nisus Email is ready to go.

When you click the global window it will expand to fill your screen. This window displays all of your email contacts. From here you can quickly email anyone via the Quick Message Window: Just click on a contact icon, type your message, and hit send. It's that easy.

Another way Nisus Email makes sending emails easy is DragSend. When you are in any application, such as a word processor or web browser, you can select some text and drag and drop it onto the Nisus Email icon. At that point the Instant Window expands and you can see all of your email contacts. Now you can choose to either send the text immediately or edit it to your liking. When you move the mouse over the top part of a contact icon you will see an indicator that the text is to be sent directly to the contact, with no delay. If you move the mouse over the bottom of a contact you will similarly see an indicator that you will be prompted to edit the text in the Quick Message Window before it is sent. Just move the mouse over one of these options and click to activate your choice.

If you want to send a file (or a folder, or even multiple files) using DragSend, just drag and drop the file(s) onto the Nisus Email icon and click the contact you would like to send the files to. Just as with DragSending text, you can choose to either send or edit the message before it is sent. If you choose to send the file(s) immediately they are sent with a standard message (which you can customize to each icon). This standard message can even include a list of the attached file names.

Nisus Email is setup to constantly check a folder named "Dispatch." As soon as a file is placed within the Dispatch folder Nisus Email will expand the Instant Window and ask you to whom you would like to send the file to. You then click the recipient's icon, and the file is sent.

There are two possible ways of using the Dispatch folder, depending on your preference settings. Under one option, text content of the file (where the format is known) is extracted, automatically edited (by adding extra returns for paragraph breaks where needed) and sent as the normal email message. Under an alternative option, the text is extracted as explained but the fully formatted file is automatically attached to the message as an attachment.

To use the Dispatch folder from within Nisus Writer (or indeed any word processor) just prepare the email, then save it in the Dispatch folder. You immediately see the Nisus Email Instant Window, click the icon of the recipient, and the message is sent. Preferences also allow you to accumulate your files in the Dispatch folder before sending and begin sending only when you activate the Nisus Email window by clicking it.
