Awaiting the release of an updated iMac I'm looking into a nice email application which my wife can use on her first Mac, getting a complete Mac experience. Thanks to me she's gotten used to the Seamonkey suite (which contains more or less the same email app as Thunderbird as far as I know).
It's got lots of very nice features but doesn't look or feel like a modern Mac app, so I've been testing Apple's "Mail" for a few days and so far can say this would be a nice replacement for her.
I have some concerns though:
1) Mail can indeed import Seamonkey's MBOX formatted messages and mailboxes/folders, but does it export to this format?
Because of Seamonkey's ability to set up different profiles it's ideal for archiving old messages. I don't see any other emailer having this feature.
Having looked through Mail's folders I notice that it doesn't use the same format/structure as Seamonkey/Thunderbird.
2) Is there a way to get Mail to deny remote images (in order to prevent spam confirmation) while "always accept" for email from certain addresses?
I'm surprised I can't find any way to do this (this is a standard feature in Seamonkey), but perhaps my version is old (version 2.1.3) since I'm still using MacOS 10.4 "Tiger" and something which has since been rectified.
I also noticed that if I click on an email's "Load images" button, those same images are missing the next time I run Mail! Is there a way to load remote images, then keep them in my email?
