MacVoices #1007: The Road to Macworld – Adam Engst Discusses The Email Client Showdown Session and Why He Switched

On The Road to Macworld 2010, Adam Engst of TidBITS and Take Control Books makes a guest appearance from MacNotables to talk about what to expect from the panel discussion on email that he is moderating at the show. Adam confesses to switching from his beloved Eudora to Gmail, why he made the leap, and how it will factor into the session that features some very strong proponents of different approaches to email. Adam discusses email client strengths and weaknesses, and why there is no perfect client, then warms up by debating filing vs. search email management with host Chuck Joiner. Regardless of your position on email, or what problems, Adam’s panel at Macworld 2010 will help you find the answers (if there are any answers).
