[QUOTE="ShaneK, post: 1385878, member: 244299"] Hello, I'm an extremely happy PC to Mac convert. Too bad it took me all these years to finally see the light. However, it shouldn't surprise that the one thing I truly dislike within my Mac is the Microsoft product that I run on it; MS Outlook 2011. Besides being feature bloated - how many color tags and email configure option panes does one need? - the one feature I do want, and do use, is [I][FONT="Courier New"]rules[/FONT][/I]. Unfortunately, the rules feature works only when it wants to, which isn't often, especially if you have more than a half-dozen rules and various IMAP folders to assign the rule(s) to. I paid and downloaded Sparrow knowing it didn't have the rules feature, and I think it's great and lite, but I've decided that I need the rules function due to all the emails I receive via various accounts. So question #1. Any suggestions for a best-in-class email client for Mac that has a rules feature...that works? Secondly, neither iChat nor Adium allows me to send or receive files from a Gmail account. Annoying. I'm not alone it seems after scouring the Net for a solution. Anyone here have a solution or software recommendation? I suppose this issue might be fixed in the next OS? I sincerely appreciate being part of this community. Peace and God Bless... [/QUOTE]
