Quick Summary: I used to use Eudora and loved it. I'm not so happy with Mail. What do you think is the best email client currently available for Mac?
My goal is to have a relatively uncluttered unread inbox that only contains unread emails that I have not categorized with filters. I also want my replies to stay in the same mailbox as the original. Is this possible with Mail?
Regarding filters in Mail it does not appear that setting up a filter for "to" works as when replying to an email. For example I have a mail box set up with a filter that says emails from Apple and emails to Apple goes into my Apple email folder. All of my replies end up in the "sent" folder even though I have created this filter for them to go to the Apple email folder. Is there a solution?
Filtering unread email: I get quite a bit of subscribed emails and I don't necessarily read them immediately on receipt but I want those auto moved out of my inbox. With regular filters and regular mailboxes, the Blockbuster, Sears, forum reply notifications, etc are auto moved out of the Inbox. Is this possible with Mail's smart mailboxes? Can I setup a smart mailbox that only shows unread mail that has not been categorized by another filter? I'm suspecting with Smart mail boxes I'm going to be stuck with the main inbox with all the unread emails in it.
Finally, I currently have Mail setup with real mailboxes and filters. The other problem I've noticed in Mail is even though I have set up filters they don't always work. I get email from different accounts and frequently I open an inbox and there are emails I know should be filtered but they are not until I do the "run filters" command. I have no idea why that is...
Thanks!
