One of the little things that annoy me in Mail is the data detectors. These are the little pieces of code that make dates, addresses and other bit of informationclick-able so you can insert them into iCal and other applications. The problem with data detectors is that they get in the way. I find them cumbersome, although they do help you can turn them off.
One of the worst things you can do with email is send a message stating you have included an attachment but you forget to send it. You have to send another email with the attachment, you have just owned yourself over email. Thankfully some clever person has manged to use the undocumented API of Mail and set up a simple scanner which tells you if you have have forgot to send an email.
Mail is a great program. But the problem is after a while you can clutter it up with a lot of emails and RSS feeds. This tip today will be about creating folders, both smart and normal to enable you to organise your life a bit better. For a new user it is not as easy as you would think.
Most people would organise email addresses through folders. In Mail they are not called Folders they are called Mailboxes. You can make a new mail box by either pressing the plus in the bottom of the sidebar or from Mailbox > New Mailbox.
