MailTags 1.1 released

MailTagsScott Morrison released a significant upgrade to his MailTags plug-in for Apple Mail today.

The new version, 1.1, fixes compatibility issues with 10.4.3 and adds some great new features.

You can now tag emails by keyword, both in incoming and outgoing messages. This can be done in a number of ways including via the Contextual menu.

Searching by keyword, project or comment has been added to the “search slice”, as has a button that will enable the reading of messages in “Gmail conversation view”, sorted by email address or person:

Smart Mailboxes now contain a full set of MailTag options.

The update also fixes lots of bugs and annoyances, although some known issues remain — MailTags cannot store metadata on IMAP servers and there is a possible conflict with Mail Template.

If you use this plug-in, you will know how good it is. If you don’t, take this opportunity to check it out.

You can find more on MailTag’s goodness in an earlier Hawk Wings entry.

The new version and a full list of all the improvements are available from Scott’s web site.

  10. Tim says:

    Hi Rube.

    Sorry, there isn’t. Tiger’s Mail uses a quite different file structure, with a file for each individual message rather than one big file with all the messages inside it like Panther.

    You will need upgrade to 10.4, something that you will need to do in the end anyway. Eventually.
