MacOS Email Management FromReaddle
Digital document security is one of the most pressing concerns of enterprises, but email applications are probably the most vulnerable applications.
There arenumerousapplications on the market for Windows-based products, but fewer formacOS. In response Folsom, Calif.-basedReaddlehas upgradeditsmacOSapp Spark to v1.2, which focuses on organizinginboxesand providing better search.
Probably the most significant of all the upgrades is the revamped folder structure giving users a way to manage folders andprovide them withdifferent configurations depending on need. It enables users to configure folder colors, organize favorites, or just look organize recent entries.
It now also now has Smart Folders thatcan beconfigured using natural language filters that enable users to choose which foldersare displayedon the sidebar, and reorder them with a simple and intuitive ‘drag and drop’.
WhileReaddleis describing it as a “massive” upgrade — and there isquitea bit of added functionality — it’s notnecessarilyenough to move people away from Apple Mail and Airmail.
Even so, fromthe comments board at the end of the announcement, it is clear thatReaddlehas come up with something that Mac users like, even though many are still looking for more.
