MailboxManager
By AsramSoftware
Open Mac App Store to buy and download apps.
Description
Utility to remote-check in one go one or several POP3 Mailboxes (i.e. Mailboxes you access through Emailer applications such as Mail, Thunderbird and the like) and fully manage their messages (inspect, delete, forward/redirect etc.) before downloading them.
Main features:
• Mailbox: it is possible to get the list of all its messages or a selection of them (ex. the last five messages, or messages from 7 to 11); and if you leave copy of them on the server, you can retrieve only the last (new) ones.
• Messages: of each message you can view its partial or full content; and when necessary, you can reply, redirected, forward or bounce it. Its attachments too can be inspected and downloaded to disk. Should you find any undesired message, you have the option to mark it as SPAM and to delete it.
• Databases: the SPAM database offers criteria to mark as SPAM incoming messages; while the White List database holds the addresses of friendly mails that --when checking mail-- will be marked as such.
• Import email addresses from Apple Address Book.
• Quitting MailboxManager, your Emailer application can be automatically launched to retrieve the remaining messages.
• Scheduled mail-checking supported. In such case, the application can work in background mode.
• Through the View menu, several command-buttons (Inspect, Reply, Delete etc.) can be shown or kept hidden, as shown in the two screenshots.
What the application does NOT do:
• IMAP not supported.
• The accounts are accessed one after the other. So if you are looking for an app that will show all the mails of all your accounts in a single list, the app is NOT for you.
What's New in Version 2.1.5
Locking an account (Preferences->Accounts), the Preferences window would be no more accessible, especially after quitting the app and re-launching it: fixed.

Customer Reviews
A potentially great program with a serious flaw
Having used POP Monitor for years, I was disappointed that it would not run on Lion. I hoped this would be a good substitute and it does show promise. One major issue is when you delete a number of selected messages, you have to retrieve all the mail again since it closes out all the previously retrieved mail. For some reason, the spam filter does not seem to work for me. After marking an address as spam, the same address returns at a later date without being marked again as spam. Not sure if it is a problem with the program or something I am doing wrong. The instructions are not real clear to me and there is no way to go to the developer for answers. The program shows promise but is rather unwieldy at its present. Additionally, in the preference panel, when you check the spam filter to filter by "address", it reverts to filtering by "subject" as soon as the preference panel is closed. Effectively this makes the spam filter useless for me. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to contact the developer. When I tried to contact him on his website, the message did not go through.
The upadate has solved the problem of the previous version. Spam filters seem to work well. One possible improvement might be the ability to automatically delete spam, but as it is, the program has become indispensible to me. I highly recommend it.
Follow up JAN 17 Unfortunately, this program has developed a verly serious problem. For some reason, the preferences for the spam list contilnue to get lost. This now happens almost every day. I have contacted the developer buy he sees no resolution. The only work around I have discovered is to keep a copy of the preference file and replace it each time I open the program. I really detracts from the usefulness of the application, but I have found no better substitute so I continue to use it.
