Mail Act-On ReviewVery useful productivity tool - Version: 2.1.1, 9/2/2009 12:03AM PST

This Mail plug-in has increasingly become one of my most valued productivity tools in direct proportion to my email volume. Very helpful in getting my Inbox to Empty.

Unlike a previous reviewer, I do not find Mail Act-On complex, neither to set up, nor especially to use. It is a delight.

In fact, I just experienced a glitch — whether due to 2.1.1 or an Apple update — which rendered MAO unresponsive. This issue has served to highlight how much I love this simple utility. The issue is reported on Indev's website, and I am confident that a fix will be forthcoming soon.

Mail Act-On ReviewOverdeveloped and Overpriced - Version: 2.0.5, 5/23/2009 01:05PM PST

Originally a nice simple add-on for email. It did its job well. It was simple to set up. It was free. Five stars in every category.

The developer revamps MAO for Leopard and forgets what made MAO great. Simple, reliable and free becomes complicated, problematic and overpriced.

A better strategy would have been to offer two versions: a simple 10 version (nobody begrudges the developer a reasonable return on his efforts) comparable (in ease of use and options) to the original MAO and this much more complicated, overdeveloped for the masses, version.

Until then, RIP MAO.
