Despite checking and rechecking the correct settings in Mail Pilot’s excellent help files, I ultimately had to delete the account and set it up from scratch again to get it working. The Outlook IMAP account I’d set up in a previous version initially didn’t work when I fired up this one. That said, Mail Pilot still does fall short in a few areas. Then I checked the Preferences, where I found options to display the URL of links within emails, turn off all hotlinked images by default, and load previews only for certain types of messages, among other abilities. I initially worried that the program contained too few protections against phony or malicious emails. Indeed, Mail Pilot 1.1 kept thwarting my reviewerly attempts to find fault with it. Trawling through a pile of messages gets much easier with Mail Pilot 1.1’s improved search features. (Mindsense was able to replicate this glitch, and says it’ll be fixed in the next update.) These hiccups weren’t frequent, and posed only a minor inconvenience. Other times, quickly attempting two different searches in a row would bring up a list of blank message headers. Sometimes searches would show results before I was finished typing, or inexplicably jump back to the last term I’d searched for.
In my tests, searches were fast and accurate – although they occasionally got a bit jittery. Where its predecessor could only search by contacts and subject lines, the new edition adds whole-message search as well. Version 1.1 has also made big improvements to its search feature. It’ll even add a pencil icon to those threads in the message list to remind you when you’ve got a work in progress. Rather than storing your draft in a separate folder, Mail Pilot keeps drafts attached to their respective message threads. Drafts are saved automatically, and even if you quit the program and restart it, you’ll still find what you typed waiting for you. You can now start working on a message, wander away, and come back to it later. Better late than never: Mail Pilot 1.1 adds a very well-thought-out approach to saving draft messages.ĭraft messages are the new version’s biggest and most crucial addition.
