Mac Mail.app: keyboard "move" folder select?duus | May 20 2008Hello. On PINE (my old mail program) I could file mail quickly; "s foldername" would file the current message into foldername. (I could even tab-complete!) I would LOVE to be able to do that on Mail.app: a keyboard-only way to file messages. Does anyone know of any way to do that?

becoming a GTD coachNathan Miller | Nov 26 2007I've been learning and using GTD for almost two years now. Thanks to Merlin and 43folders I never fell off the wagon!

Becoming a GTD person isn't without it's problems. Mainly, it's frustrating working with people who aren't working productively.

Switch to OpenOffice? Pros and cons?Aisha Ahmed | Feb 27 2008In Pakistan, bootleg copies of software are the norm. When you buy a computer, if you tell the people who are setting it up that you want genuine software, they look at you like you're crazy. So you go buy a computer, tell the tech support guy what software you want on it, and take it for granted that practically none of it will be legally yours. read more »POSTED IN:
