Mail

This article was originally written in 2005 as a support forum article. This is still relevant today so I have decided to add and update it here for posterity.

If you are looking to take advantage of IMAP ability to sync your emails across mutiple devices such as your mobile phone or pda, while being able to also pick them up from your home or work computer, them IMAP is the way to go.

I have been a Mac user for many years now, but have been less than pleased with Apple's Mail application recently due to the fact it takes so long to start up and then to find anything using its built in search. This has been a problem for me for some time, so I thought I would share a solution with those of you who might be experiencing similar issues.

 I am personally using Mac OS 10.7.5 (Lion) with Mail 5.3.
