One word of advice, however: MailTags is not fully compatible with GMail IMAP servers and tags cannot be synchronized between computers via Gmail IMAP. If you haven’t used MailTags before, I would strongly recommend you at least try it out.
#MAILTAGS REVIEW UPGRADE#
If you are already a MailTags user and you’ve switched to Lion, I’m pretty sure you’ll find the upgrade worthwhile. This allows me to forget about messages, tasks, and events until it’s really time to take action. For example, I set up a rule so that when my set Tickle Date is within 3 days from now, the message will colour red and the message will be moved back into the Inbox. Using the Tickle Date you can effectively set warning alerts outside of iCal and right within Mail. Not only can you now take actions on messages, using the MailTags data such as keyword or project, but one new addition I particularly like is the MailTags Tickle Date criterion. Personally, I find this to be one of the most powerful capabilities of MailTags, and it just became a bit more powerful in version 3. Just as in previous versions, you can set rules based on MailTags items. The Calendar tab offers you an option to set two Tickle Date buttons next to the Tickle Data mini-calendar, as well as your default calendar for Events and Tasks. The secondary location folder’s purpose is to enable the synchronization of rules, smart mailboxes, keywords and projects via a server based directory or (even better, according to Indev) something like Dropbox.Īs with older versions, you can add projects and set a colour. This secondary location is also an available option in the Projects tab, where you can opt to have Things and OmniFocus projects to be included. The Keywords tab hasn’t changed much, except for a secondary settings location that I don’t believe one could set in the previous version. The IMAP tab lets you auto-save tags to your IMAP server, but there’s more: you can also save OpenMeta tags to the IMAP server (those generated by apps such as “Tags”, “Leap” or “Yep”). You can also include tags in outgoing messages. In the Messages tab, you’ll find options to copy keywords and project settings to replies when composing messages. In one word: you can make MailTags’ interface your own. Not only can you choose to show tag icons only in message viewers, only in composer windows, or in both, you can also opt to have the items on the MailTags Tagging window as you wish this means you can for example uncheck the Tickle Date if you never use it, or you can have the Calendar or Projects section showing up at the very top of the Tagging window. Tag multiple messages easily Customizable information manager The really juicy part of the new version becomes visible when you open the MailTags Preferences tab. In a nutshell: using MailTags 3 has become even easier and more efficient than using MailTags 2.x. Needless to say, this saves a lot of time. Instead of having to tag every message by itself, you can now select multiple messages and tag all of them together at once. Furthermore, MailTags 3 can send tags with a message and will handle IMAP messages fine. Just as with the previous version, you can link MailTags to OmniFocus and Things, which basically gives you a full-scale Personal Information Management system. This allows you to keep the MailTags grey tag arrows collapsed, while still being able to see which tags a message belongs to. For example, The project name and keywords are not only listed in the Tagging window, but also right below the message subject in the Viewer window. When you enter data in MailTags 3, the data is displayed tapping into everything Lion’s interface model allows for.
The Keywords you want it to have, with the ability to use GTD Keywords.The data you can enter is basically the same as in MailTags 2.x:
