Product Description:

With MailTags installed, you can add comments, due dates, projects and priority to your messages right inside your mail viewer window. You can then use this metadata as the basis for Spotlight searches, Smart Mailboxes, and Mail Rules. For example, you can create a Smart Mailbox that will show you all messages in project: "Great Novel" that have a due date in the next three days. MailTags also integrates with Mail Act-On to allow tagging of message via simple keystrokes, or by rules for receiving mail. For example, create an Act-On rule for the d key that will defer the due date of the message for 5 days.

Indispensable Tool for Mail - Version: 2.2, 3/26/2008 10:50AM PST

This tool saves me a ton of time. It automatically tags all my incoming mail (according to the rules I set up). With this simple feature, I can file all my read messages into one folder and create smart folders to keep track of email while having a relatively clean and empty inbox.

I also use this tool to create iCal apts from w/in mail when appropriate (it links the email msg to the event).

WELL WORTH the price of admission.

Download is old version, beta 5 - Version: 2.2b12, 11/12/2007 10:48AM PST

This download is for the already released beta 5, not a beta 12 as it is marked.

Beta 6 would be nice though. Anyone feel like posting beta 6?

Very buggy, not working for me - Version: 2.2b5, 10/30/2007 09:45PM PST

Doesn't hold new keywords or projects entries. They're deleted once you close Mail's preferences. It does retain 2 old project entries and it's impossible delete them. Looking foward to an update soon.
