Scott likes Apple Mail and has been playing around with all the plug-ins and add-ons. He has some interesting observations on Mail Stamps vs. Cagefighter vs. DeButtonizer, and has road-tested and compared two of the Spam apps, Spam Sieve vs JunkMatcher.

Stowe Boyd, “a well-known media subversive”, is not so happy. He wants to be able to read his Gmail off-line, write replies and then upload them again when he reconnects. MacFreePOPs, MailForward or POP access to Gmail don’t seem to be for him. He wants a dedicated tool to do the job:
