Longtime former Spectacle and now Rectangle user here. An ancillary issue I'm curious how people deal with is efficiently getting the mouse pointer from one display to another. When working with two apps on two screens, constantly drag

Emailchemy looks like a pretty useful tool. I'll take a look!

One might think so, but a quick search didn't turn up any results. Outlook for Mac has had AppleScript automation for at least a decade, so you'd think there would be some mention of it if there was.

I imagine IMAP would provide access to most cloud-based email services, and I bet there are some IMAP-based export tools. However, in my experience, Microsoft Exchange email accounts are only accessible through the Exchange Server protocol,

I put this macOS app together to help me archive 250,000+ emails from Microsoft Outlook to local storage. (In a format that would outlast an OLM file.) It started as a simple AppleScript script and multiplied by asking myself, "I wonde

https://exportoutlookmacmail.com/ I started this Mac App project in early 2017 that uses AppleScript to export/archive mail messages from Microsoft Outlook for Mac. I was looking for beta users right as my family abrup

I'm in the same boat! One Windows laptop in the house dedicated to MS Money. With 27 years of financial history, and counting, it still does everything I need it to. Once a year I export it into Excel to do some forecasting and analysi

A friend and I had the same need for an email diary service in 1998. DailyDiary [0] has been online ever since :) [0] https://dailydiary.com

I have a feature in the fast track queue that sounds like the "draft response" you're inserting with script. Ping me - I'd love to get your input on that. lance at dailydiary.com.

After the demise of Mandrill I started to divide transactional email between Elastic Email and SparkPost. I send around a thousand messages a month through them and haven't had any problems with either. I still miss Mandrill though. I

Will do. The site was recently overhauled and there are still a few important pages, and features, that are in the pipeline.

Thanks for all the comments. An importer is in the works. And an option to include past entries in daily reminders will follow.

FireHOL looks like a neat tool, but seeing their last (official) release was in 2008 turned me off. I'm using Shorewall now, and as a plus, it supports ipset (mentioned by rw-).

I like the idea too, but would rather subscribe to an RSS feed. I get enough email already...

I use http://dailydiary.com . It uses email to help you keep track of personal metrics (either numeric or free-form text). It doesn't have a native iPhone app though (yet).
