Guide Review - Mailbag Assistant 3.98

Can you say "data mining"? I can't. It's such a horrible term.

Mailbag Assistant makes me wish I could. Mailbag Assistant is an extremely useful tool to dig deep in your existing email archive without altering it or interfering with your default email client.

It lets you organize, find, merge and archive messages with a lot of flexibility and endless possibilities. Not only can you search using multiple versatile criteria, you can also group message intelligently, and build subsets to work on.

Working on mail can mean exporting it compressed, in plain text, HTML or other formats, extracting attachments or email addresses, and more. It gets even better: Mailbag Assistant includes a scripting language that lets you automate these tasks.
