![]() Mailsmith doesn’t do IMAP at all, and it displays just text: you can easily open attached HTML or images in another program, but you won’t see them within Mailsmith itself. You shouldn’t proceed if you absolutely must have IMAP support, or if you like your email as more than text – HTML, format=flowed, or pictures, rendered right in your client program. Reasons to Stop Reading - Since the notion that your current email client might need replacing is probably threatening to you, let me help by giving you, up front, some reasons to stop reading this article altogether. Perhaps it might lead you to look into Mailsmith as well. Perhaps trying to explain it to you will help me explain it to myself. Even after all this time, I’m still somewhat stunned by my behavior. But I can tell you this: One fine day about nine months ago, I, a longtime user and advocate of Eudora, became tired of its shortcomings, switched to Bare Bones Software’s Mailsmith, and have never looked back. Besides, what suits me might not suit you. You’re doubtless convinced there’s nothing wrong with the program you’re using now and the trouble and trepidation of switching, especially when email is your life and the risks are so great, probably seem overwhelming. In the same way, I can’t tell you what email client to use. And no one can predict what dog an owner will choose and love. (Yes, I’ve actually seen this happen.) Plus, over time a dog and its owner grow increasingly alike, and mutually dependent. The unfortunate passerby may have the dog’s teeth embedded in her shin, with blood running down her leg – the owner will still look her right in the eye and deny that the dog is biting her. Why? Well, for one thing, their owners are in constant denial. #1655: 33 years of TidBITS, Twitter train wreck, tvOS 16.4.1, Apple Card Savings, Steve Jobs ebookĮmail clients are a lot like dogs.#1656: Passcode thieves lock iCloud accounts, the apps Adam uses, iPhoto and Aperture library conversion in Ventura.#1657: A deep dive into the innovative Arc Web browser.#1658: Rapid Security Responses, NYPD and industry standard AirTag news, Apple's Q2 2023 financials.#1659: Exposure notifications shut down, cookbook subscription service, alarm notification type proposal, Explain XKCD. ![]()
