Rocketbox is such a great app. One of the best Plugins. The Plugin I was waiting for!

Quite nice. Getting my Mac a little bit closer to my Outlook at work, but still not so accurate when searching, I miss ability to search using many variables. Fast. I love the presentation of search results, it's awesome. Want it!

Fantastico! Il lato “spaziale” di MsgFiler! Ottimi questi plugin, mi chiedo come ho fatto a vivere senza ;-P

Great approach to improve on Mail.app's search capabilities! I am looking forward to testing Rocketbox.

It's very useful to have such a power search engine for mails, and this app is also well designed! I hope it keeps on improving, with tags search, attachments' content search and all we need for a exaustive search!

Wow, awesome interface and a gorgeous icon! This is a must have to browse a lot of e-mails, a perfect plugin for Mail.
Thanks for this giveaway!

Seems like it is a great app, but is it also able to search through the attachments? Not only the attachment name but also the content of attached PDF's, DOC's, .. etc.? This would be really cool.

Thats a great app, im always searching for alternatives to the apple software. Hope there is one license for me ;D

Really a good app, but I'd like more control over how it forks, i.e. leaving the Mail.app search on the search box and using Rocketbox with a shortcut, or be able do exclude folders (by default Rocketbox include also folders I've deleted from Mail.app but that are still on disk)

I really like the searching capabilities, but agree that it needs some way to be able to view the full message of the selected email, and move through different emails using the arrow keys. Adding Quick Look support could be just what's needed.

It would also be nice to be able to save some searches, and it would be helpful if there was more info on using different search operators to get the most out of the app.

Looks like a really useful app that has great potential.

Search is WAY better than folders. It's even better than tagging. Looking forward to improvements in UI. (And I want to win!)

First glance, the search function is noticeably much powerful than Mail's built-in search. User interface is polished and intuitive.

Though I would expect some sort of a help tooltip of some sort to explain how the application works for the first-time users.

It seems to be what the Mail app's search should have been. Though I do wish it functions right from the Mail window

It feels like a natural extension of mail's search capabilities, since thats a major part of mail that's lacking for power users. I'll definitely give this a try!

The demo plug in is great. I've already discovered some emails that I'm glad I kept but forgot I had… does that make sense? I really like how it highlights the word you searched for too.

The only thing I'd change is the little design they put in the search bar of Mail.app. Looks a little weird. Other than that, great.

The app itself, simply for its Boolean search, adds much to Mail's functionality. I've also noticed fewer false-positives than Mail's default search function. The initial indexing took a bit, but I have quite a few messages stored up in my database.

All-in-all, a welcome addition to any power-user's mail suite.

What I think? This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. I will download the trial asap, that's for sure. Too bad my Mac is being repaired at the moment. I would love to see it integrated into Mail.app so you couldn't tell it's not part of Mail.app. Other than that the App sounds very powerful and great.

Seriously awesome application! Mail.app's built in search is definitely lacking, and I was drawn to Postbox's superior search capabilities. Rocketbox puts Mail.app back in the game! So far, I can't think of any improvements, but then again I just started using it…

I love the UI and how fast the app is. I agree with the previous comment about implementing mail tags. Other than that, this is an awesome app!

I think this will make search much better und effective.
I need this plugin.

Receiving tons of mails, this search makes it a lot easier.
Brilliant integration in mail.app

I really like the app, because the search function is the biggest problem of Mail.app. Downloaded the trial yesterday und really like what I see. The only thing I miss is a preview of the full message via the Space bar. Would love to see that implemented.

Grazie mille. Ancora una volta hai suggerito due "applicazioni" che apple dovrebbe implementare.
Ad una prima occhiata la ricerca sembra veramente efficace (altro che spotlight).
grazie ancora

Very nice. Fast, for my few thousand emails. Mail Steward is great but UI on this one is stunning.

Man, this is a timesaver already! I'm constantly looking back through my email archives.

One thing I'd add is support for other Mail.app extensions. I use MailTags and often need to search within a specific tag category. I understand this is something the two developers would need to collaborate on, but it's something that would be handy for me, and possibly others who implement 3rd party extensions.

Sounds great. And I like the design of it very much!
