Great post! Do you know of a plugin that shows a preview of the first 10-20 words of an email before actually opening it (like the iphone, gmail or outlook?). When I first saw widemail I was hoping this was going to be in there, but it unfortunately does not.

I am trying to find a Mac Mail addon that will organise by inbox so that all todays e-mails are together then there is space before yesterdays are grouped together etc. It is standard on Outlook helps me. Any tips gratefully received. Mark

It looks like Mail Attachment Scanner is no longer available as the developer's website returns the usual 404 "Not Found" error message. I'm not sure if it's available elsewhere, but for the moment it looks like the link provided above is dead.

Thanks for notifying me about it. I've changed the link to other source.

@Reilly. What you're looking for is listed on this page "Mail Appetizer". Works great, but not quite yet ready for Snow Leopard http://www.bronsonbeta.com/mailappetizer/beta/

FlagIt does not flag but hide my emails so they are totally lost until the next restart of Mail. How do I uninstall this useless plugin? There are no instructions.

Anyone know a plug-in to allow an and/or selection box for Mail rules?
