My host (Dreamhost) either doesn’t allow me to store drafts/sent mail on the mail server, or I simply can’t find the setting to allow this in their control panel. No worries, I can store drafts locally.

If you see this in Mail.app when composing email, and you use IMAP-style email, here’s the fix.

Preferences -> Accounts -> Mailbox Behaviors -> (uncheck) Store draft messages on the server.

As you can see in the image above this can work for sent mail too.

Obviously this will not store drafts or sent mail on the server. Think carefully about this — if you retrieve email from different Macs/PCs often this may not be the solution for you. This solution works fine for me because I always use the same Mac for email, so if I write a draft it will be stored locally on my hard drive and accessible.

If you’re using a Plesk server for email, see this fix.

That’s right, the Apple Mac browser Safari will be released for Microsoft Windows.

Steve Jobs made it his signature “… one more thing” announcement at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference just 4 minutes ago. More on this later.

My white-hot, burning, filthy love for Apple’s Aperture became even more so (!) today with the release of ApertureToGallery.

ApertureToGallery is an Aperture plug-in that automates the process of getting photos from Aperture into Gallery.

Be still, my beating heart.

I use Gallery2 on several of my sites including my fine art photography site, and this is just what the doctor ordered for my workflow. But it’s not going to help with my filthy thoughts. Thanks Ubermind!

I was reading this 5thirtyone.com blog entry about Mailplane, a new desktop app (currently private beta, alas) that controls your Gmail mail account, thinking “wow, pretty neat, but not great.” Then I came upon this:

Anyone who uses screenshots to supplement their emails will enjoy the convenience of the ‘Screenshot’ functionality built right into Mailplane. ‘Screenshot’ will automatically open Apple’s Grab utility. Once you’ve made your selection, Mailplane automatically attaches the image to your current email.

Whoa, now that’s utility. And there’s more, including integration with Adress Book, iPhoto and more. <Drool>.

See a 5 min. (29MB) live demo of the application.

Upon sitting down at my fav cafe, I found myself opening my browser (Firefox 2), clicking Applekey-T three times (to create three more tabs), and clicking on  the following bookmarks to load pages:

1. Google AdSense — checking my vast revenue from yesterday
2. Google News
3. Google AdWords — see how my ads fared yesterday
4. Gmail

In that order.

And it struck me

Not only am I visiting four Google properties, I’m visiting them first, before any other pages on the Web (which is rumored to have tens of thousands of pages).

It’s a sign either of Google’s incredible domination of the Web, or of my predilection for the company’s services. Or both.

Am I putting too many eggs in one basket? What do you think?
