Mail Saver 3.6.2
Apple's Mail works wonderfully to send and receive messages, but using it for long-term storage of email has undesirable consequences. Mail Saver solves this problem by moving messages into the Finder for long-term storage. It does this by linking mailboxes to Finder folders. When Mail Saver saves the contents of a mailbox, it copies its messages into its linked folder, then moves the original messages to Mail's Trash. The linked folders can be located anywhere you wish, such as with a project, an account or an interest group. Mail Saver simply copies a message without doing any file conversion, thus a saved copy of a message is simply a Mail document (.emlx) file which must be opened with Mail. These saved documents may be Replied, Redirected, Forwarded, Bounced and Printed by Mail just like any other message. (But, they cannot be Junked, Deleted or Flagged). Saved messages also retain attachments, if present. Searching saved messages in Leopard is easy, simply use Spotlight. The saved copy of a message is modified so that: • The file name is the header's subject; • The modification date is the header's Date Sent; and • The comment is the header's To: address (for sent mail) or From: address (for received mail). This allows you to easily identify messages in a List View Finder window. Mail Saver always saves the oldest messages first, so that the Finder shows the most recent messages at the top. Mail Saver uses Apple's Mail as its interface and its action is determined by the mailbox selected in Mail's frontmost Viewer. Here is a brief summary of Mail Saver's features: Linked User Mailboxes — Route messages manually or automatically, using Mail's Rules, to User mailboxes, each linked to a folder. Mail Saver moves the contents of a linked mailbox into its linked folder. The originals are not immediately erased, but are moved into the Trash mailbox. Unread messages are labeled gray and the linked folder is opened showing messages ready to read. Mail Saver Table of Contents — Gives you instant access to Mail Saver, Help, Mail-Safe, (Spot-Mail) and to your linked folders via a menu in the Dock or Script Menu. Save Selected Messages — Selected messages in the Inbox and Sent mailboxes can be saved to any location. The original message is not moved to the Trash mailbox, so you can save multiple copies to multiple locations. Mail-Safe — Creates an archive of every message sent or received by Mail. The Trash mailbox is linked to a 'Mail-Safe' folder of your choice where outdated messages are saved into year-numbered folders containing month-numbered folders containing day-numbered folders. The originals of these messages are erased from Mail. If you have a requirement to maintain an archive of your e-mail, Mail-Safe may meet your needs. Spot-Mail — (Tiger only) Spot-Mail uses Spotlight to search the content of .emlx files in the frontmost folder. (In Tiger, Spotlight cannot search these files directly.)

Take notes on an iPod touch
Many users have complained about 'missing' features in the iPod touch, like an email application, the ability to add entries to the Calendar, and a note taking application. Until the iPod touch is 'hacked' to allow the installation of third-party apps, or for those who don't want to hack the iPod touch, it is possible -- and not entirely inconvenient -- to use the Contacts database to take notes that are then automatically uploaded to the home computer when the iPod touch is synced.What I do is create a new Contact with a number for the first name and A for the last name, so it shows up at the top of the contacts list. Then create a new field in the contact named Notes and type away. It will probably hold as much as you're likely to want to type with the iPod touch's keyboard. When you next sync the iPod touch, the note(s) will show up in your Address Book, in whatever folder you have designated in iTunes. The default new folder is named Added.

Learn how to build, compile, and customize mutt
There have been a few hints on the site regarding using the CLI-based email client mutt, but they've typically been little snippets about how to accomplish certain things. Being an avid mutt user on Linux, and then on OS X, I've written an article called Using mutt on OS X, which is a full guide on using mutt, covering everything from mutt configuration (with sample configuration files), to setting up fetchmail and procmail, to even tweaking the postfix MTA (or installing and using exim instead).It details a number of OS X-specific items, such as integration with Address Book, being able to automatically open attachments from mutt, etc. A few of these are from previous hints that ran, but this article takes you from having never used mutt all the way to being able to power-use it.Using mutt gives you the most rich and flexible email client experience currently available on OS X. Yes,...

You're Invited! 0.5.0
This Applescript Mail rule bundled in an Applescript Studio application was designed to avoid: - Invites arriving in Mail from Outlook not being automatically sent to iCal. - Invitations arriving in iCal that create the 'email address that isn't on your 'me' card in Address Book' error. - Having to remember obscure key combinations. - Having to repeatedly drag/drop .ics files from Mail onto iCal. And in general to provide seamless integration of Outlook invites in Mail/iCal on OSX 10.4.

Fix certificate errors in Safari and Mail when using AKO
Every person in the US Army is required to maintain an AKO (Army Knowledge Online) account. AKO webmail is a terrible web interface for email, but soldiers are forced to use it. All Army military email addresses (@us.army.mil and @usar.armry.mil) are AKO addresses, and they cannot be automatically forwarded to commercial addresses (yahoo, msn, aol, .com, .edu, etc -- only .gov and .mil are supported). I hate AKO email and check my account only when told. One day, when I was getting "smoked" by my First Sergeant for not checking my email, I stared at the asphalt and thought to myself, "There has to be a better way." You are allowed access to your account using POP3, but Mail just won't work with it for some reason. Safari consistently gives error messages about "certificates" and unknown authorities, which make AKO all the more nasty. The Army does have a site that tells Windows users how to avoid the Certificate dialogs, and has a program PC users can download tha...
