Using Mail.app to archive Gmail

Monday, November 20th, 2006

GmailGraeme Mathieson has produced a great tutorial on using Mail.app as an offline archive for Gmail, complete with step-by-step instructions on creating the rules to push emails into the right folders and screenshots.

He recently switched to using Google apps for your domain but like any prudent Scot wanted access to his email when he is not online and “a backup should something go wrong” (see further — “Gmail user gets kneecapped” and the Gmail “Black Hole treatment”).

Nice.

Leopard Mail Screenshots

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

leopardApple Legal has been doing its best to take down screenshots that break its non-disclosure agreements, but I guess the sheer volume of posts almost guarantees that some will get through.

Spilled Cow has posted six screenshots of Leopard Mail (notes, making a to-do, a note with a to-do, a to-do list, adding an RSS feed and dispalying an RSS feed).

HardMac (Le Macbidouille) has more detailed shots of to-dos and to-do options.

Thunderbird and MS Exchange Guide

thunderbird100pxSome enterprising staff member in the IT Department at McGill University has produced an illustrated guide (PDF) on setting up Thunderbird to use an Exchange Server account.

Although written and illustrated with screenshots from the Windows version of Thunderbird, the author says that it applies equally to Macs.

Outlook 2007 beta 2: screenshots, commentary

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

windowsvistaflag100pxCNet News carries a gallery of screenshots of the latest Outlook beta with commentary.

The fourteen images cover everything from the main window (see below) to the Compose Window (featuring a message in plain text!) to various preference options.

In the main window the most notable new thing is the To-Do Bar on the right of the window:

The beta continues the Microsoft design philosophy of overwhelming the user with options and buttons. Compare the Contact card in Outlook 2007b2 to the interface in Address Book:

outlook2007b2contact

See the screenshot of the Compose window toolbar for a further example.

According to a separate report on CNet , Office 2007 is now scheduled for release in January 2007 (or maybe later ).
