Take Control of Apple Mail: Solve Problems, Work Smart, and End Spam
Review:
This is the book that I needed when I first set up Mail. It would have saved me lots of frustration with my trial and ERROR method. I would recommend that anyone who is just starting out with Mail read this book FIRST.
The step by step instructions for setting up mailboxes were very good. The book gives very clear examples with illustrations on setting up preferences to help sort your incoming mail. The troubleshooting checklist has a lot of solutions to those annoying ERROR messages that sometimes pop up when sending mail. The author covered some areas that I had never given a thought to, such as backing up email. After looking at all my saved emails, I realized that I did have a lot of important info that was not backed up. That issue has now been corrected.
Another section that I found very helpful was on setting up rules to direct your emails to the proper folders and help prevent spam. I have already cut down the amount of spam I was receiving by using these methods.
The only drawback to this book is that it was published before the Tiger release, But you can get free updates online. Full instructions on downloading the updates are given in the book. These cover all the great new features that Tiger has for Mail.
