MsgFiler is a plug-in for Apple Mail. It quickly files emails into existing mailbox folders. MsgFiler’s fast searching means you just have to type a few characters to find the right mailbox. Move selected messages with a click or open a mailbox without having to navigate the mailbox folder pane. MsgFiler is optimized for keyboard-only usage, perfect for Apple Mail power users.
Version 2.0.3: Added new installer application. MsgFiler now works properly on HFS+ Case-Sensitive Disk Partitions. MsgFiler ignores mailbox directories (white folders into which you can’t file messages). Added Hide mailboxes from inactive and offline accounts feature. Refined new interface for the MsgFiler window.
TOMECK MsgFiler is a handy complement to Mail Act-On. I have a lot of folders (because I have to sort my emails for history reasons) and it isn’t convenient to set for all of them a rule or Mail Act-On rule. I use Mail Act-On for my most important and daily used folders, but I love to use MsgFiler for infrequently used folders or for folders with many sub-folders.
The search engine works great and really fast. You can use multiple search terms, part of words or navigate trough a list of strikes via the up and down arrow keys. Simple and good. In addition, MsgFiler allows you easy to find and open any of your folders (Apple+O), if you need to have a look of your old emails.
Ultimately, Adam (the developer) is very responsive if you have any queries and interested in suggestions.
MsgFiler as a full integrated Mail plug-in is for me one of my “must have”… (Version 2.0.1)
TOMECK I was interested in MsgFilter a long time, but did not install it because it was an extra application. I use and like Mail Act-On, but I have to much folders, and only define the most important folders with a short-cut. Now MsgFilter is integrated in Mail as a plug-in, and at my first impression it seems to be a good complement to Mail Act-On. (Version 2.0)
TOMECK I don't think so. If you received a lot of e-mails from different senders it is helpful to sort them manually; to create every time a rule is sometimes more time-consuming and often you never need this rule again. (Version 2.0)
