    Apple Mail

    I was always a user of Microsoft Entourage on my mac, having come from a PC background, it just felt right – having all my emails, names and dates was really useful. But recently I changed, and moved all my email from there to Apple’s own Mail program.

    Mail is great, it’s simple for what I need and does it all well, except for a few minor things and these can be rectified or enhanced by the use of a plugin. There are a ton of these and they’re all Leopard compatible, unless otherwise stated.

    My favourites:
    1. SpamSieve – Spam filter (Commerical) In my opinion, it’s the best out there.
    2. Related Mail – Displays related messages to viewed email (beta)
    3. Attachment scanner – Avoid the embarrassment of missing attachments
    4. Mail Unread Menu – Menubar app that notifies you of any new mail
    5. Mail Followup – Allows you to compose (and then send) a quoted version of the original message to all of the original recipients, keeping the To, Cc and Bcc addresses exactly as they appeared in the original message.
    6. Letterbox – It rearranges the interface into three vertical columns.

    MacLorem generates that great placeholder copy that we all love to use. It is freely available from the developer’s website
