While the Mailsmith’s development seems to have slowed down, this was the one that I really liked interface-wise. I had to do a bit of trial & error to come up with version 2.2.5, which is the last one that runs on OSX Tiger.
Games for mac 10.4 ppc software#
It’s a Mac native software from Bare Bones Software (the guys that did TextWrangler and BBEdit). Next alternative that I had downloaded once upon a time onto my external hard disk was Mailsmith. That’s good old Microsoft software, I thought – and moved on. It would fail me complaining about not having the correct root certificate installed. Even though I found it aesthetically appealing, I wouldn’t get it to work. Think of throwing a (simple) project management tool, an organizer and an e-mail program into a shoebox, closing it and shaking it well. It contains the since deceased Microsoft Entourage. So where to go next? I decided to check my software collection and came across Microsoft Office 2004. We parted since and I’m not to eager to use it again. Do software programs have a “soul”? Apple’s Mail obviously not. Even after using it for years professionally between 2006-2009, we never became friends. But then, for some reason I never liked Apple Mail. It fetches and sends all my e-mails over an SSL-encrypted connection and does that really well.
However, I wasn’t really sure about which software to use. So the final decision is to do it the old-style way – I will download all e-mails to my computer and save them locally. (something most providers seem to have in common). However, my provider’s web interface is neither visually appealing nor fast. Instead I will use the e-mail service that comes with my hosting package.
With the Gmail interface getting more and more cluttered (and slower) and me getting more privacy-concerned, I decided to move away from Gmail. I have been using Gmail’s Webmail for many years due to the flexibility of it. None of which get close to the ease of use of 10.4 Tiger and admittedly I do miss it. Due to work requirements, I had to fiddle around with Linux and / or Windows. Truth to be told, I haven’t used Tiger much lately.
There have not been many updates here lately.
