![]() ![]() Another mail client is out of the question for me, but the "Mailbutler" plugin can be used to retrofit many missing functions in Apple Mail.Ī third feature that some readers would like to have in Mail besides me is that Tracking the receipt and opening of a sent email. Apple Mail on the Mac does not offer an option for this either. I know there are solutions like Thunderbird Mail, Spark, canary mail or Airmailall of which more or less map such features, but for me there is a clear disadvantage of these mail programs: They are not nearly as well integrated in iOS and macOS as is the case with Apple Mail - of course they cannot, because Apple simply has more technical options here than the developers of the other mail clients. If I had to choose an alternative mail client, I would definitely choose Canary Mail. This mail program has most of the functions that I miss in Apple Mail.įor example, if I search for a person on the iPhone, iPad or Mac, addresses, emails and phone numbers that Siri or Spotlight found in the emails are automatically suggested. That's just one of the advantages of using Apple Mail. If I switched, I would think of ten other things that I would miss. For this reason, I prefer to stick with Apple Mail and try to expand its functions to my liking. My solution: MailbutlerĪfter several plugins that have "copied" one or the other feature of my wish list, I was not really happy with any plugin. Either they were big crap from the user interface or they caused Apple Mail to crash. Some didn't even run with the latest versions of macOS. You can see that there is a lot of chaff and little wheat on this subject. But in the end I found the good grain: Mail butler. The following video gives a brief overview of how you can use Mailbutler to improve your daily workflow when using Apple's mail program: This “productivity suite” for Apple Mail is ultimately “just” a plug-in with a connected external server solution, but it has so many helpful features and such a good operating concept that I've been using it for years - and I'm happy with it. Yes, I don't want to hide the fact that the software costs money. There is also an “Essential” plan that is free, but it eliminates some functions that are really useful if you do a lot with Apple Mail on your Mac in your everyday life.Īt first I was even a bit "surprised" how expensive a mail plugin can be, because the "cheap" but usable "Professional" version costs almost 10 euros per month. You can find the current price overview from Mailbutler here. ![]() Mailbutler's prices are likely to be a bit high, especially for private users who do not make any money with their Mac. As an entrepreneur, however, you get a very well-maintained plug-in for the money that adds a number of functions to Apple Mail. I took the tool with me back then the free trial period I looked at it and then it was clear to me that the increase in convenience when processing emails is definitely worth the money. If you are self-employed, this is actually not worth considering anyway, because if you save working time with 10 euros a month, you usually have the costs out several times - especially since you can also deduct the investment. As a private person, however, I don't know whether I would spend the money on it. Installing this for multiple users, especially with multiple accounts in need of Drone setup is a serious, serious undertaking.German development team, fast support and many updates From my point of view, it is only worthwhile if a lot revolves around Apple Mail every day. It remains far less a ‘Plug-In’ and more just a really well written set of scripts a user has to install and maintain. It’s still pretty impossible to recommend to novice and even proficient users due to the amount of fiddly, precise, user-required setup and installation. ![]() SpamSieve is welcomingly accurate these days, having recently returned to trying it again after many years of letting it percolate however, there sure is still a lot of geek-level management and user-tasks needed. Setting up Mail for ten accounts to use their own Spam/TrainSpam/TrainGood folders on server was pretty tedious already. What is not clear is, one, which, if any existing rules to disable and, two, is this set of three new rules going to handle all mail accounts, or do i have to create three new rules for each of ten managed accounts in Mail? In what order/position do these new rules go? Top? Bottom? Before each account? Instead of each account? Perusing the forum suggests this page as the solution to my desire to send absolute SPAM and/or blocked senders directly to the Trash thus saving daily review of the same repeat offenders. ![]()
