I’m feeling cranky this week, so this will probably sound whiny, but another thing that bugs me about Web 2.0 is that the focus on web web web means that there’s a noticeable lack of innovation in desktop apps.
Unfortunately, man (or in this case, woman) does not live by webmail alone, especially when it comes to office e-mail. I have been through three different IMAP clients at work in recent months (Mail, Entourage, and Thunderbird) and am still not happy with my options.
Are there any other decent options for native Mac IMAP or do I just have to live with one of the above?
Thunderbird on the long run is the best. Of course, filters and folders are a must, and habit of putting important emails into ‘Info’ folder because search is superslow and unreliable.
IMHO, from Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and ex-Entourage user.
