No more Mail.app hogging your bandwidth with this incredible trick for OS X.
This will only work if your server supports IDLE (like MobileMe, Gmail…).
3 steps to make it work:
- Go into Mail » Preferences » Accounts (Advanced) and make sure that Use IDLE command if the server supports it is enabled (it’s enabled by default).
- Go into Mail » Preferences » General and set Check for new Mail to Manually.
Now send yourself a new message (preferably from a different account) and watch the fun.
On monday january 13 of 2009, Microsoft decided to make free transfers of your emails (hotmail.com or live.com) to any email application or iPhone.
As a result, no need for httpMail or MacFreePOP anymore.
I’m going to configure my account in the rest of this post.

Just got this problem with Apple’s Mail, with the following message error:
Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the actions while online. Mail has saved other messages in mailbox “On My Mac” so that you can complete the actions while online.
Additional information: The IMAP command “APPEND (to Send Messages) failed with server error: Mailbox does not exist
To fix this issue, I used Onyx, and activated the “show hidden files”, then went to my Home folder > Library > Mail > IMAP-myemailaddress > .OfflineCache. And erased the content of that folder!
Problem fixed.

To Do is THE widget Apple forgot in the bundled widgets you have on your dashboard with Leopard. To me, stickies are dead, and they have been replaced by To Do and Notes in the latest Apple OS: Leopard.
This widget is simple, it has sleek design and it is 100% integrated to iCal & Mail. No need to open these apps to see your To Dos, the widget collects them all and it even gives you the ability to add/remove a To Do, or to mark them as done!
