Product Description:

Adds "Copy to Recent," "Move to Recent," and "Go to Recent" menu items to Apple's Mail application. These menu items contain dynamically-updated lists of recently used mailboxes. The number of mailboxes kept in the list is determined by the "Number of Recent Items" setting for Documents in the Appearance panel of the OS X System Preferences.

What's new in this version:

  • NEW: OS X 10.5/Leopard compatibility. Note that this version will only run on Leopard. (A 10.4/Tiger version is available on the plugin web page.)
  • CHANGED: Changed the menu sorting to use a case-insensitive comparison, to match the Max OS X and Mail sorting. (Thanks to Mark Foster for pointing this out.)
  • NEW: Added an uninstaller to the distribution package.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC

Additional Requirements:

  • Apple Mail 3.x and Mac OS X 10.5.x. Not compatible with Mac OS X 10.4.

MailRecent Mail Plugin ReviewWorks for me - Version: 1.1, 11/26/2007 05:17PM PST

Man oh man, I've been wanting this feature for a long time. Installed it, and seems OK here (almost a week now). Makes moving mail much easier for me.

OSX 10.4.11, intel iMac, and OSX 10.4.10 G4 Powerbook.

I do note the developer has 2 versions available: one for Tiger, and one for Leopard. I can only speak for using it on my Tiger systems.

MailRecent Mail Plugin Troubleshooting ReportI think this almost trashed my email - Version: 1.0.1, 2/5/2007 05:39PM PST

I've just spent a day trying to restore my email after coming to the Mac this am and when booting receiving a message that I was opening Mail for the first time - just as though I was using it for the first time. After I created a new account - which I had to do to get access, I had to rebuild my mailboxes and then discovered that I couldn't move mail from my inbox to any other mailbox.

I've spent the day trying to figure out why - I just deleted this plugin and hey presto - Mail works fine.

Not conclusive, but I think there may be a problem with the plug in.

MailRecent Mail Plugin Reviewinstantly useful - Version: 1.0.1, 2/1/2007 01:46PM PST

This plugin has already made it easier to work with "too many" mailboxes in combination with Mail Act-On, much like described in the Background section on the developer site. Thanks, Greg!

One improvement would be to include the extended name for a duplicate mailbox in the menu even when only a single instance of it occurs. It's easy to forget exactly which duplicate mailbox a single instance is, especially between Mail sessions.

I'd also like a way to optionally invoke "Copy/Move to Recent" followed by "Go to Recent" for the specified mailbox.

And I can imagine how a certain merging of this with the MsgFiler plugin might improve mouseless operation.
