Handling Email (Re-post)
Seeing as the semester is starting and I have had several people ask me about this already I thought I would link back to the posts I wrote at the beginning of last semester. This is a five part series (rather elaborate write-up) I did that explained how I handle email.
- Part I
- Part II
- Part III
- Part IV
- Part V
- Bonus Entry on Creating Student Email Lists
- Note: Parts I-V address both Mac and PC, but the final entry only shows a tutorial for creating email lists through Mail.app (Mac only).
And if you want you can get the Quicktime Movie Tutorial by clicking the image below.(This is free from RapidShare, just scroll to the bottom of the link and select “free.”)

Hi. I enjoyed your Academhackemail.movie. It game me some good hints on how to better organize
my email inbox in my Mail.app ( I have 4 different emails to manage)
I was curious: how are you doing those short-actions i the movie.. . i.e. you get a menu to come up and then you can perform various actions…. are you using Applescript or ??
many thx/

I am using SnapZ Pro to film the movie. The title screen, or words you see are actually Quicksilver. I set a hotkey for Quicksilver to “Academhack”->Display as Large Text, hit the hot key and up pops that text.
or are you talking about the short actions within the mail handling, this is using Act-On a mail.app plugin.

Hi… i was referring to the Act-on Mail.app scripts… how do we set those up? They look to be very useful!

Yeah act-on is one of the most useful tools in mail.app. Check out the Hawk Wings run down.
