Take Control of Apple Mail in Tiger

Clik here to view.Joe Kissell’s ebook on Mail 2.0 has been released!

This is the only book available on Apple Mail in Tiger and it’s excellent. Based on Joe’s earlier book on Mail.app in Panther, it has been revised and expanded to cover all the new features in Mail 2.0.

Read it to learn tips for importing email, how to fix damaged mailboxes and more. Discover seven key bits of advice about rules, five ways to improve the Previous Recipients list used for spam filtering and address completion, and six suggestions for Spotlight-enabled smart mailboxes.

Get under the hood of Mail.app and come to grips with the different ways in which POP and IMAP accounts work, their advantages and drawbacks, and how Apple Mail implements them. I have never read a clearer explanation. That chapter alone is worth the price of the book.

I was lucky enough to read it in final draft form, on the basis of alleged “technical expertise”, but I learnt far more from the book than I could offer.

Don’t buy yet another hand-tooled crocodile skin, rhinestone and spandex cover for your iPod gizmo. Buy this. If you are an Apple Mail user, there is no smarter way to spend USD 10.

Check it out (even read a free 33 page preview) on the Take Control web site.Similar Posts:
