Funkydog software provides free tagging and note system for Mail 3.0 on Leopard, enhancing email organization and management.
Funkydog is an open source mailbundle that allows for seamless email and RSS message tagging on Mail 3.0. Unlike other paid or restricted programs, this free software provides users with the ability to add personalized keywords (tags) and notes to their communications, which can then be searched using OS X's metadata facility. An important note is that while Funkydog allows for extensive customization on downloaded copies of emails, it does not add headers to IMAP mails.
To get started with Funkydog, simply download the mailbundle from the "Downloads" section and copy it to ~/Library/Mail/Bundles (if the directory does not exist, create it first). It is also necessary to type a few commands into Terminal: defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles 1 and defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion 3. After restarting Mail.app, Funkydog should be fully integrated and ready to use.
One of the key features of Funkydog is its ability to sort communications based on Tags, Notes, and Steroids. The latter is especially useful as it allows users to query any Metadata related to a communication. All of these can be saved as Smart Folders for easy access to important messages. While Funkydog allows the use of rules, it's worth noting that they cannot be used as part of the action. However, users can still test on Note, Tag (but not Steroids), and perform actions that already exist in the Mail.app program.
Overall, Funkydog is a powerful and completely free tool that provides enhanced customization and organization of emails and RSS messages in Mail 3.0. It's easy to use, integrates smoothly, and offers a range of features that are typically only found in proprietary software.
