With some help from the good folks over at the new [9Rules Notes Section](http://9rules.com/en/notes/) I have discovered a way to make Apple Mail do almost everything I want. And here I will walk you through how to do it because it is a fairly hidden feature aparently.
When adding an account to Mail, it asks for a description of the account, your real name, and your email address. In the email address field you can put in as many comma seperated addresses as you like, and you can pick from any of those when sending out a message. I haven’t had the chance to test it yet but they say that Mail is also pretty smart about choosing the righ From: header based on the To: header of the email you are replying to.
Apple Mail obviously has really good filtering builtin and the smart folders are genius allowing me to have the exact same setup as GMail with everything in the inbox and also in these smart folders, or labels if you will. I am trying to figure out a way to have any read messages automatically archived after a certain period of time, probably 72 hours so that my inbox doesn’t get cluttered, but also so I don’t have to go searching for an email 20 minutes after I have read it.
It is of course very pretty being an Apple application, and fairly quick for being an Apple application as well :-P So here is to you 9Rulers! Thanks a bunch!
