SCO0119 - Single eMail Inbox for the iPhone and Mac
12 October 2007
Struggling with finding the optimum email
solution to use with your iPhone? Do you have
multiple email accounts that you'd like to
process in a single universal inbox? Would you
like to have all your email synchronised and
available from any device and from any location?
If so this weeks show may be for you.
It's my personal journey from traditional POP based email clients through web based solutions to finally a scheme that gives me the flexibility and control to access all my email from anywhere. It's all about IMAP and harnessing the power of IMAP using .Mac Mail to give you the best of all worlds when accessing your mail. But IMAP is just part of the solution. You need to have a way of channelling all your mail into a single inbox.
Even if you're not an iPhone user, the recently expanded .Mac service gives you some huge benefits over more traditional POP or web based solutions.
This week show covers:
Update - As of today (24th October 2007 - a couple of weeks following this shows publication) Google are slowly introducing IMAP support into gmail accounts. This removes the need to forward GMail into .Mac for the IMAP capabilities of .Mac. Of course, if you still want the advanced facilities of .Mac under Leopard. This solution is still valid.
If you're an Extra! member and would like to download the presentations as mentioned in this weeks show, you can download them from this page.

SCO0101 - Act-On - Assign Email Rules to Keystrokes
01 June 2007
This week's screencast covers one of the utilities I use everyday to help me keep my email organised and at least feel as though I'm in control.
It's a simple mail plugin that allows you to create special rules which you can then assign to simple keystrokes. The rules can be as simple or as complex as you'd like allowing you to easily colour code your email, move email messages to folders or basically anything you can do with a standard email rule but under your control. The screencast even shows you how you can assign multiple rules to a single keystroke and build in a level of intelligence in how the messages are handled based on the content.

SCO0074 - Configuring OSX Mail to use Hosted Mail
10 November 2006
Thank you!
This will be the last SiteGround related show for a month or two, but people have been asking about setting up the email system with OSX Mail application. So this show teaches you how to create email accounts in Siteground and configuring your mail in OSX. As this is a fairly standard procedure, you may fins that this is applicable to other hosting providers too! The show also covers some great tips on organising your mail accounts. So this week we look at:
Setting up single and multiple email accounts in Siteground
Configuring the OSX Mail Application
Forwarding multiple emails to single mailbox
Configuring multiple emails in a single mailbox
Organising your emails using Rules
SiteGround WebMail
