Hi there
Does anyone know of an e-mail application which offers and and or mail rules/filtering combined.
Mail doesn't. The Mail-Act-On add on for it does but it's got bugs which cause duplicate messages and other things to occur and so is unusable. I've struggled with it for a few years and even contacted the developers.
Even the £80+ Outlook for Mac doesn't allow and and or rules.
Mulberry does but this was last updated in 2007, as far as I can tell and doesn't offer message indexing. Also I am concerned that once I get my messages into Mulberry, I might never get them out again.
I've looked at Thunderbird and again is support isn't there. However in it's defence, it only allows message filters to be applied per account. In my case this would get round some of my problems, since I am wish to apply or rules with specific accounts. However it might affect other rules I use which are not account specific. I may find an add on to deal with those.
Interestingly enough Windows Live and Outlook Express offered some form of limited and and or rules. The chances of getting mail out of them is far higher but they are windows only.
I think I will give Thunderbird a trail but if anyone has any other comments then add them. I'm surprised more advanced mail apps are not more common.
