Postbox 2.0 available now!

by Brett Terpstra (Sep 29th, 2010)

We've covered Postbox in the past, and I've been using it regularly since the beta. Version 2.0 was just officially released, and there's a lot to love in the latest incarnation of this Mail.app replacement. Postbox already had some great organization capabilities, including "Conversation" views for ...

by Josh Helfferich (Sep 17th, 2010)

If you're as excited as I am about the iOS 4.2 beta being released, you probably spent the majority of Wednesday paging through all of the tech blogs and/or neglecting your responsibilities as an adult. For those of you who aren't able to experience Apple's latest firmware until November, I've ...

Set up your own Priority Inbox with Apple's Mail

by Dave Caolo (Sep 2nd, 2010)

Last month, Google released Priority Inbox, a system that learns which messages are the most important to you and highlights them automatically over time. It's in beta right now and Google is slowly turning it on for its users. If you're tired of waiting, or if you use Apple's Mail and not Gmail, ...

by Dave Caolo (Aug 27th, 2010)

The MobileMe web app went down for scheduled maintenance last night, and returned this morning with an overview video. In about three minutes, it points out the features of the recently-redesigned Mail web app. Those who have been using it for a while won't find anything new in the video, but it's ...

The surprise announcement of a beta version of Apple's browser-based MobleMe Mail has users curious about the service's future. While we await our invitations, we compared the only beta screenshot we've found to Mail's current appearance. Here's what we found, starting from the top. Toolbar ...

Apple issuing invitations for MobileMe Mail beta

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (May 13th, 2010)

An eagle-eyed reader spotted something new on his MobileMe account after the completed maintenance this evening -- an invitation to join a "mail beta" for MobileMe. What is this? We originally thought it could possibly be linked into the rumors that MobileMe may soon be free, but reader Beau ...

MobileMe email aliases will be supported in iPhone OS 4

by Michael Grothaus (Apr 11th, 2010)

A reader has sent us a little tip that MobileMe email aliases are now supported in iPhone OS 4. Apple describes MobileMe email aliases as "nicknames" for your account. When you join MobileMe you have a primary user name/email address, but Apple also allows you to create five "nickname" aliases ...

iPhone OS 4.0: Unified inbox, threaded messaging and more

by Aron Trimble (Apr 8th, 2010)

Apple announced today that the iPhone's Mail application is going to receive several new features as part of the iPhone OS 4.0 software to be released later this year (summer for iPhone/iPod touch and fall for iPad). The first big feature is the unified inbox. Finally, it will be possible to ...

A unified mailbox coming to the iPhone -- what a concept!

by Mel Martin (Mar 25th, 2010)

If the supposed note from El Steve-o is to be believed, the iPhone is getting a unified mailbox at some future date. Don't you wonder what Apple was thinking when it wasn't in the original iPhone plan? In Mac OS X, I like seeing all of my email on one page, and with a quick click I can look at ...

Postbox adds Things and OmniFocus support

by Brett Terpstra (Mar 9th, 2010)

The first time I heard about Postbox, it was a relatively new email client for the Mac. Based on the details in the first announcement and my trial run, I was very intrigued. I recall telling the rest of TUAW that -- if its stated goals were achieved -- it had the potential to take over my Mail.app ...

iPhone icons in felt keychain form

by Mike Schramm (Feb 4th, 2010)

Unfortunately these guys are already sold out (though maybe there'll be more soon), but I'm still posting them here just to gaze on their awesomeness -- Etsy user Rabbitrampage put together these six iPhone icon keychains (well, five iPhone and one Finder) out of felt, thread, and fiber fill. I ...

Google Email Uploader for Mac available now

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Feb 1st, 2010)

The Gmail of a few years ago was quite primitive in comparison to the current incarnation. Still, threading and a nearly-bottomless cup of storage space made it appealing despite early privacy fears. I use Gmail extensively nowadays, complete with a bunch of tweaks, add-ons and lab components. ...

TUAW Tip: Get an instant definition of any word in a pop up window

by Mel Martin (Jan 15th, 2010)

Gee, I love stuff like this, and I wish I would have known about it a long time ago. The tip comes from OSXhelp.com and it's a great one. Need a quick definition of a word in Safari or an email? Yes, you probably already knew you could right-click on a highlighted word and bring up the OS X ...

Mac 101: Making Text Replacement Work

by Erica Sadun (Dec 31st, 2009)

Text replacement: it's one of Snow Leopard's really cool features. With it, you can type abbreviations and they'll automatically expand into full text. You can convert your most common phrases into just a few keystrokes, and let Snow Leopard take care of the rest. Here's a quick summary of what you ...
