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?

The app makes Mail and iGTD rock (also, life a lot easier) - Version: 2.1.1, 9/18/2007 08:47AM PST

I am really confused by some recent comments/reviews about MailTags. I've used both iterations of this program for quite a while now with NO problems of any kind and have benefitted greatly from the organizational capabilities that MailTags adds to Mail, iCal and iGTD. With this program you can set up smart mailboxes that instantly organize important emails (and, BTW, the tags also work in MailSteward) so that you can find invoices, shipping notices, updated email addresses sent to you by business associates, friends and family. You can also easily use MailTags with the other apps mentioned to turn emails into useful and organized To Do's. I never understand why people are so quick to downgrade an app (espeically one with a long history of glowing reviews like MailTags) rather than take the time to figure out what they are doing wrong or not doing right. BTW, I am an intermediate level Mac user with no ties to this or any other software or hardware company.
