Five Mobile Apps I Couldn’t Live Without

Mobile apps have made my life better, I have no doubt about that! Even though I’m a true geek and huge technology enthusiast, I will admit I was relatively late to the mobile apps party. I was never interested in iPhones when I demoed them, so I never really owned a smart phone up until the trusty HTC Desire hit the Australian shores.

Why I Like Mail.app, Included on All Macs

Today, I am going to explain why I like the Mail application that comes with all macs versus any other mail client.

Firstly, Mail.app is just simple.  It's not hard to use at all and I like it for that reason. Most mail clients are a pain to configure and Mail.app is easy to configure and usually works right.  I love that functionality of it.

Secondly, it is great for multiple email accounts. It does a simply wonderful job managing multiple accounts. It pulls them all into one inbox and makes it easy to find. Mail.app also makes separate sections for each email box for everything; the spam, drafts, inbox and sent. I will show you what I mean below.

Mail.app also has somewhat good spam filtering. I do have to admit, there are some false-positives, but it mostly gets all the spam.  he good thing about it is it learns as you tell it what is spam and what isn't. That is a good thing that can slowly but almost surely get rid of most of the false-positives.

That is why I like Mail.app for Mac. Do you?  ost your thoughts in the comments!
