Looking for Software

Hi all!
I wasn't sure where to post this so.

I have been on a long hunt for some software for use with my MAC. I am looking for software that would manage/organize my e-mails. What I mean by this is if I send/receive an e-mail from someone in my address book then this software would automatically 'file' that e-mail with that contact. This way I could goto an individual contact and see all of the e-mail correspondence for them. Further I would like to attach files to contacts, so if I create document in pages and save it to my hard drive I would like to be able to attach that file to the contact.

I have looked at software like Daylite but this actually does a lot more then what I need and is major over kill!

Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Thank you for the Replies... I have considered Smart Mailboxes but I have around 300 Contacts and just setting up that number of mailboxes seems like a daunting task. Could Mail even handle that number of Smart Mailboxes?

My other issue is that my address box is constantly changing, I am always adding and deleting people and to put an extra step of adding or deleting smart mailboxes also seems somewhat over whelming.

I was looking at MS Office for MAC but the reviews on outlook are horrible. I have Office 2004 installed but it uses Entourage which is a worthless program. I tried to use it for a week but it totally destroyed my MAC address book and made life just miserable for me!

I found a program on-line called CRM4MAC and it seems to have most of what I'm looking for but I'm not sure about its' operation yet.. We'll see!
