Apple Mail.app and MobileMe Junk Filter need a lot of work.

Apple Mail.app and MobileMe Junk Filter need a lot of work. On daily basis, I mark too many of obviously junk mail on Mail.app and MobileMe such as the ones from bluesquareframe.com and LOL messaging. Gmail and and Yahoo! Mail junk filter work a lot better than the one Mail.app and MobileMe service have.

I saw this in my Mail.app:

An email from an Apple Store with a sales receipt was automatically marked as Junk by Mail.app. That is so ironic.

Apple needs to improve the Junk Mail Filter for MobileMe service. There are enough complaints from users that their MobileMe mail does not filter junk mail as it should. Apparently marking those mail as junk does not seem to improve the junk mail filter algorithm.

Having Fun With MobileMe Emails.

MobileMe is slowly replacing .Mac, and all new and current subscribers will get new “@me.com” email address.

As always, this begs for some serious creativity (or not) to get some silly email addresses.

I’ve tried them and they’re taken:

  • look@me.com
  • takealook@me.com
  • justtakealook@me.com (Phil Collins might own this one)
  • throw@me.com
  • throwit@me.com
  • looking@me.com
  • youarelooking@me.com
  • sheislooking@me.com
  • theyarelooking@me.com
  • throwthecat@me.com
  • throwtheknife@me.com
  • stopthrowing@me.com

Go make your own…..

Apple .Mac IMAP Unavailable

Honestly, I don’t know what is really going on right now. Apple .Mac IMAP has been having problem the whole day. First the SSL connection was refused, and now all IMAP are down. I couldn’t even access .Mac mail through the webmail interface.

I can only hope that Apple is revamping .Mac for the better right now as many of the so called “tech-journalist/analyst” has been saying for the past weeks.

I want to keep the @mac.com email, don’t change it to something stupid like @mobileme.com or even @me.com as rumored.

All I can say based on the information given by the completely made-up and imaginary source who is allegedly working at Apple Cupertino office:

“Great things are coming along. Some of your wishes are coming true. In addition to that, expect great changes in the Apple ecosystem. iPhone, iPhone, iPhone, and Mac.”

OK, I’m sold. Now I want the new iPhone in my hand no later than June 29th, 2008.
