Leopard Mail

One of nice things in Leopard is updated Mail program. My first thing when exploring it, of course, was setting up my GMail account. And it did not succeed automatically - I went to Gmail help and read their howto. Well, at least it was easy to do.


The next small trouble was organizing folders - but mostly because Apple reworked the structure of a sidebar in order to make it more Leopard-like. But after I figured out how to create rules that work, applying them worked like a charm, and I found my mail sorted into the folders I wanted. Nit-picking in me wants to warn,however, that there's no way to create a folder when you create a rule, it should already exist...


But "all the small things" is where the Mac shines, we all know that. And the little things begin from integration with AddressBook, one-click saving of attached files to Downloads (and it is very convenient to have them all in that brand-new pre-build Stacks in Dock!), ability to send a folder of photos with Dragging that folder onto Mail icon in Dock...


Should I say a word about built-in RSS reader, Notes and ToDo list? Well, maybe next time...
