Aid4Mail™

Aid4Mail™ is a sophisticated but easy-to-use tool that can migrate email to a different mail client, export it for viewing through Internet Explorer®, Microsoft Excel®, and most databases, and archive it to save space or for regulatory compliance. It can merge mail into a single mailbox file, or export it as individual message or text files, and can extract attachments, embedded contents, and email addresses.

Aid4Mail supports over 30 email clients and mailbox formats including Outlook 2007, Windows Mail, and Windows Live Mail (see the Specifications page for a full list). Unlike the native import and export features of most email applications, Aid4Mail migrates mail without losing formatting, sender/recipient information, attachments, embedded contents, or message status (see the Conversion Quality page for examples). This capability is crucial to large-scale migrations. Aid4Mail can process mail folders and files even when they are disconnected from their email client, including those stored on a CD or DVD. It can filter mail by date range, header content, and in the Forensic, Enterprise, and Console versions, by message body content.

Windows Mail

Windows Mail in Windows Vista addresses today's serious concerns about junk mail, e-mail, and phishing attacks, while adding new features that help you search and manage the increasing volume of e-mail messages that you receive.

If you're like most people, sending e-mail is one of your most important computer activities, allowing you to keep in touch with family, friends, and colleagues across town or around the world. As the popularity and importance of e-mail have grown over the years, so, too, have its annoyances and risks.

Leopard transforms email into personalized stationery. Notes you can access anywhere. To-dos that change as your errands do. For everything you do with email — and some things you haven’t thought of yet — there’s Mail.

Sincerely yours.

Mail for Leopard features more than 30 professionally designed stationery templates that make a virtual keepsake out of every email you send. From invitations to birthday greetings, stationery templates feature coordinated layouts, fonts, colors, and drag-and-drop photo placement from your iPhoto library — everything to help you get your point across. You can even create personalized templates. Messages created with stationery in Mail use standard HTML that can be read by popular webmail services and email programs on both Mac computers and PCs.

Noteworthy indeed.

Ever email yourself a reminder that gets lost in your inbox? Mail lets you write handy notes you can access from anywhere. Brainstorm ideas, jot down meeting notes, scribble a phone number — notes can include graphics, colored text, and attachments. Group notes into folders or create Smart Mailboxes that group them for you. Since your notes folder acts like an email mailbox, you can retrieve notes from any Mac or PC using an IMAP mail service like .Mac or AOL.

Much ado about to-dos.

Forget manually adding a new item to your to-do list every time an email hits your inbox. Simply highlight text in an email, then click the To Do button to create a to-do from a message. Include a due date, set an alarm, or assign priorities. Every to-do includes a link to the original email or note, and to-dos automatically appear in iCal, complete with any changes you make. And since to-dos are stored with your email (when using an IMAP mail service), you can access them from Mail on any Mac.

Spotlight on Mail.

With smarter relevance ranking in Spotlight, you’ll find the right email at the top of the search results list. Everything you create in Leopard Mail — to-dos, notes, and, of course, email messages — appears in a Spotlight search of your system.

Stop the presses.

Subscribe to an RSS feed in Mail and you’ll know the moment an article or blog post hits the wire. Even better, you can choose to have new articles appear in your inbox alongside your latest email messages. Sorting your news is easy, too. Use Smart Mailboxes to organize incoming news articles according to search terms that pique your interest. Mail shares its unread RSS feed count with Safari, so your reading list always stays in sync.

Data, detected.

Say you get an email invitation to dinner. What if Mail recognized the address of the restaurant and let you map directions on the web? Or let you click once to add the date to your iCal calendar? With Leopard, it does. Mail even recognizes relative dates (“let’s meet next Tuesday”) and keywords (“dinner tomorrow”), so you can act on information rather than enter it.

Setup made simple.

Now you can set up a new Mail account in one easy step. Just enter your current email address and password and let Mail do the rest. Mail works with the most popular email providers, like Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, and AOL Mail, automatically configuring those cryptic server settings for you.
