    Longtime former Spectacle and now Rectangle user here. An ancillary issue I'm curious how people deal with is efficiently getting the mouse pointer from one display to another. Whe…

    Emailchemy looks like a pretty useful tool. I'll take a look!

    One might think so, but a quick search didn't turn up any results. Outlook for Mac has had AppleScript automation for at least a decade, so you'd think there would be some mention …

    I imagine IMAP would provide access to most cloud-based email services, and I bet there are some IMAP-based export tools. However, in my experience, Microsoft Exchange email accoun…

    I put this macOS app together to help me archive 250,000+ emails from Microsoft Outlook to local storage. (In a format that would outlast an OLM file.) It started as a simple Apple…

    https://exportoutlookmacmail.com/ I started this Mac App project in early 2017 that uses AppleScript to export/archive mail messages from Microsoft Outlook for Mac. I was looking f…

    I'm in the same boat! One Windows laptop in the house dedicated to MS Money. With 27 years of financial history, and counting, it still does everything I need it to. Once a year I …

    I have a feature in the fast track queue that sounds like the "draft response" you're inserting with script. Ping me - I'd love to get your input on that. lance at dailydiary.com.

    After the demise of Mandrill I started to divide transactional email between Elastic Email and SparkPost. I send around a thousand messages a month through them and haven't had any…

    I began journaling in my 20's by quickly recapping the day's itinerary in a Sierra Club day calendar given to me on every birthday. (Sadly, those somehow went missing during a move…

    Thanks for all the comments. An importer is in the works. And an option to include past entries in daily reminders will follow.

    For everyone who enjoys journaling via email, you may find DailyDiary a suitable alternative. A comparable question might be: https://www.dailydiary.com/questions/342540/how-did-yo…

    I use http://dailydiary.com . It uses email to help you keep track of personal metrics (either numeric or free-form text). It doesn't have a native iPhone app though (yet).
