I hate e-mail

Thanks Giaguara. And Safari and Mail? What's up? I'm very thick in this domain. No kidding.

What, am I the only person around here who uses Mail.app ?

Actually, I love Mail.app; it's simple and straightforward. It seems to be that other mail applications are intentionally crammed with little-used "features".

I use Mail, too, and I'd say there is only one area where I feel it lags behind. With Eudora, I've been able to search mailboxes by a number of criteria, such as text within certain fields, the date sent, the number of attachments, etc. so that you could as many combinations as you wanted, in order to narrow your search. When using Mail, so far as I know, I can only search for text, and then sort the results afterwards in columns.

I have to admit that I don't need big email search capability because I ascribe to the GTD and Inbox Zero, so I basically don't keep email in Mail.app for very long.

Things like registrations, iTunes Music Store receipts, and other archive material go into their own folders.

I equally must admit that I don't get 500 emails a day. So, my scenario may be a little different.

Do some people get that many per day???

Goodness yes! Just think of university lecturers () giving a course with a section of 500 students. And if that's a first-year course...yeah.

Just a throw in. I couldn't import Outlook Express (5.1 for Mac ) address book ( from Mac G3) to mail.leopard iMac. And boy did I try. Nothing serious though. I add them as they come in or go to my printed file if needed. I like e-mail. In fact I need it....as long as it is not 500 a day/week. Holy smoke!!! Is Spam included by the way?
