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.

Mac App Store: iWork ’09 is still here.

At the launch of Mac App Store, the rumored iWork ’11 is nowhere to be found. Apple is still featuring iWork ’09 on Mac App Store.

It is interesting how Mac App Store automatically detects iWork ’09 installations on my MacBook Pro. Mac App Store also detects that iLife ’11 is installed. It is obvious that the application itself must be Mac App Store compatible so it would be detected when installed.
