I recently had to switch from my beloved GMail to Mail.app (that damn “on behalf of” screwed our romance up). This meant giving up the notion of “Archive,” which is unique to GMail (OK, there may be other mail clients that do it, but not the big ‘uns). I archive stuff all the time to keep my inbox clean.

To simulate this in Mail.app, I created an Archive folder and dragged messages to it. Which isn’t quite as cool as hitting “a” in GMail or even clicking the Archive button.

And then I found Mail Act-On. After setting up a rule, I can now type ` and then a and BAAM! archived! You can, of course, set that to what you want.

So, if you want to get more keyboard action in Mail.app, check out the Mail Act-On.
