like to keep my mail's inbox well organized: filing and flagging messages in different ways when they come in. However, quickly filing messages in my inbox in a variety of folders can be a drag and drop process or a using a menu that often involves submenus. Setting colors of messages involves bring up the color palette and manually selecting a color.
Mail lacks a simple method of organizing messages based on user-defined keystrokes. As it stands, the only way of doing this is to write a series of AppleScripts that does each task, saving them to Mail's applescript folder and naming them so that a control key combination can be used. This is very cumbersome as it takes a knowledge of AppleScript to devise the actions and adding new rules is not a simple process. To fulfill my personal need, I dived into the world of mail plug ins and wrote Mail Act-On to solve all my life's (er -- email) problems.
Mail Act-On is a plugin Apple's Mail (Panther) in that allows you to map specific mail rules or actions to "Act-On" keys. When viewing mail you can apply the "Act-On" action for a message by making simple keystrokes.
Mail Act-On makes use of Mail's existing rule engine, so if you have ever created a rules, you already know 99% of what you need to know to build an Act-On action. Imagine, no AppleScripts or other macros. (Even if you haven't ever created a mail rule, there is very little learn!)
What's New:
Mail Act-On is now a Universal Plug-in, providing Act-On goodness for Intel based Macs
Rules that are disabled in Preferences will no longer show in the Act-On Menu.
