Apple Mail Essentials

So my good friend Map just happened to be using my computer and was amazed at this nice little application that displays your mail messages in a translucent overlay on your computer. The name is Mail Appetizer from Bronson Beta and it’s a definite “must-have” for life on a mac (if you’re using Mail.app, that is). Mail Appetizer allows me to quickly delete, read, or pop up a message and reply at a moment’s notice; really helping to increase life in the realm of e-mail.

While I’m at, here’s a list of the other important plugins for Apple Mail that I use on a regular basis:

• MailTags: allows you to “tag” and categorize your e-mail just like del.icio.us bookmarks.
• MailActOn: allows you to run little scripts to archive and extend your the rules you use for managing your e-mail.
• And here’s an article for using the GTD (Getting Things Done) menthodology with Apple Mail. I personally use the Apple Mail Tickler in my productivity life.

PS: and the video app I mentioned was VLC
