Getting started with Hawk Wings
Hawk Wings contains over 1,300 posts full of tips, plugins and add-ons for using Mail.app, iCal and Address Book faster, smarter and better.
There’s also a fair bit here on the productivity app Quicksilver
and personal information managers like Yojimbo
, and SOHO Notes
(the app formerly known as SitckyBrain).
Some of these posts are more useful, interesting and enduring than others.
The front page has a search function which works pretty well and the archives are sorted by category.
By far and away the most popular page on this site is the Hawk Wings Plugin and Addon List
which lists over 130 plugins and tools for Mail, iCal and Address Book.
The other nine most visited and (presumably) most useful posts are:
- Top ten things every Mail.app user should have
- Ten Mac Tools for Getting Things Done (GTD)
- A list of 295 different Apple Mail icons
- A Mail.app rule fix for image spam
- Getting Things Done in Apple Mail
- Mail Appetizer – Notification for those who can’t wait
- MySync: .Mac syncing without .Mac
- Mail Act-on – Getting sorted, saving time
- The full list of files needed for a complete Mail.app backup

The full catastrophe is on my daily reading list, quite a feat considering I’m not even a fan of Mail.app.
Keep up the good work, it’s informative and entertaining.

[...] Spätestens seit der Tiger-Version ist Apples Mail ein ausgewachsener Client, der sich auch im Business-Umfeld nicht verstecken muss. Doch viele der Profi-Funktionen finden sich nicht auf Anhieb und erschließen sich erst nach mehrmaligem Hinsehen. Tim Gadens Hawkwings schafft hier Abhilfe. Das Weblog ist seit über einem Jahr erste Anlaufstelle für Tipps und Tricks rund um Mail. Neben wertvollen Kniffen findet man dort auch Empfehlungen für wirklich brauchbare Plugins, die noch mehr aus Mail herausholen. Für Neueinsteiger hat Gaden hier nun eine Übersicht der wichtigsten Artikel verfasst. Bookmark-Tipp!
