Mailbag Assistant v1.0 Sounds Great So Far, But What Else Can It Do? Douglas Smith
Mailbag will display every email in a single-grid screen display, and then do simple sorting by sender, subject, date, or complex Boolean searches and sorts. It even searches for approximate matches (in which 75% of the characters must match a search string), and Soundex matches (English language sound-alikes). This is really a great thing for very large--and, for those like me, many separate--email programs.
This first release of Mailbag and can open Eudora, Netscape Messenger, Outlook Express 4 (OE4 only), and Pegasus mailboxes, and will partially support The Bat!, FoxMail, Calypso, and Agent. We have been told that support for additional email programs is planned for upcoming versions. Mailbag easily handles archived or current mailboxes, no matter where stored on your computer.
In summary, Mailbag takes the difficulty out of managing and reading email. It also offers the following advantages that most mail programs lack:
Easily organize and archive messages
Easily read email archives
Extract statistical data, such as word count, from mailboxes
Accurate, fast message searches
A single view for displaying messages from multiple mailboxes
An easy way to group messages by desired criteria
You may actually begin enjoying reading and managing email again.
