Personal Webpage of David Duggins


Well, I was born on a normal day in July, 1981 and have been creating chaos ever since. Born in North Carolina, but raised in the aftermath of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan, I have been messing around with computers nearly my entire life. I wrote my first program in assembly when I was 11. In my early teens I ran a BBS connected to Fidonet and started building a website for my band. In 1999 I was introduced to Linux, and it was love at first compile. I started my career in IT in the early 2000's doing IT for a Car Dealership in Charlotte NC. I wrote my first major web app in Cold Fusion (an ecom app) at that time. In 2006 I left Charlotte and moved down to Columbia where starting working as a developer, freelancer and consultant. Currently I am working as a freelance developer and DevOps consultant!!


Mimic Gmail's threading feature in Mail

\n I love gmails interface. I love using a browser to check and send mail. This being said, often times, I am off-line and need to veiw my mail-box. One of my favorite feature in gmail is the message threading. This makes reading (and finding) related messages. Using Mail’s smart folders, we can mimic this feature in Mail.

As you can see, the messages are in order, by subject, date and time. This makes it easy to view at a glance all related messages.

First, you need to decide the name of the person that you wish to track. Create a new smart folder, name it and set it up like this:

In conclusion, this might not seem a very useful feature for every single iMail user, it is a very helpful trick if you want to track a exchange or keep tabs on a project that is on going.
