How to deal with too many mail accounts?
Chage | Aug 5 2007
Hi All, I am starting to pull my hair out over mail productivity. Not because of too much mail, but because I have too many mail accounts. I have accounts from my ISP, Gmail, Work, Personal, .mac totaling about a dozen. Trying to find value in paying for .mac, I want to try and get all mail going to may .mac account. However there is a gotcha or two. 1) .mac will not allow you to have outbound email aliases for non .mac addresses So an email to Merlin advised that people on the forums were pretty smart and o ask them :) 1) Should I go down the path of forwarding email addresses to one account, or should I just keep to the status quo? 2) reply-to vs from: am I old fashioned in thinking from is better? 3) if responding true to 2), is there a script that can be run with mail.app to automagically fill out the reply-to field with the recipient email address when I hit reply? 4) Maybe I should forward email, but keep existing accounts just for sending? 5) What other options/opinions :) OK folks, have at it. I look forward to any advise you can give. 19 Comments

Though let me say, if you have actual evidence that SPF is really widely implemented by domains outside of a few large ISPs (that is, that a lot of domains are publishing SPF records, not that the ubiquitous SpamAssassin will lower a message's score by 0.001 for having invalid SPF), I'd like to see it. All the evidence I have is anecdotal, or based on analysis by a few individuals of their own received email, but suggests that real-world uptake of SPF is vanishingly small. If it is high, I may have to set my personal domain up to pay lip-service to it. » POSTED IN:
