When I first made my transition from front-end development into back-end development in ~2002, I had two things to learn: a…Īt Crowd Favorite we’re getting ready to hire several developers. But using a combination of Apples Filer and MsgFiler, it sort of gets the job. I’ve been using MsgFiler, an Apple Mail plugin, for quite a while now.I wrote up a longish description of why and how I use it back in 2009. 🙂 Other Recent-ish Posts of Note on This Site Now go forth, spend a few PayPal dollars on this little gem, and learn to love (or at least not resent) Mail.app again.
So much faster than dragging the mail into a nest of collapsed folders and trying to get them to open in a way that I can reach the one I want.Īdam has some screenshots and a little intro video on the web page, so you can see how it works there too. Hit the down arrow to select the folder in the list.
#Msgfiler file all messages in thread pro
Type a few letters – for example to bring up my ‘Tasks Pro Support’ folder I type ‘pro su’. Have an e-mail open or have one or more e-mails selected in the message list in Mail.app. It was just too painful without MsgFiler. When I first got my MacBook, Intel incompatibility with MsgFiler rendered me unable to file e-mail on the MacBook for several days. I’ve been using MsgFiler for over a year now – I hinted about it nearly a year ago – and I can’t imagine using Mail.app without it. Adam had recently learned pretty much everything there is to know about Mail.app and AppleScript while writing Soybo, so I asked him if he could cobble something together that could simulate QuickFile. Even though it didn’t do everything I wanted, when I went back to Mail.app I really missed QuickFile. The switch didn’t last too long, but I was told about QuickFile, an extension for Thunderbird. Go download it now, then come back here and read more of the back story.īack in 2004, I was so fed up with Mail.app that I tried switching to Thunderbird. Trust me, this puppy will save you serious time every day. Adam Tow has just released MsgFiler, an absolute must have add-on for Mail.app users that file messages.
