Dustin MacDonald: Mail in Tiger

Mail in Tiger

If you've been keeping up with Mac rumors you've probably seen this:

Firstly, it looks really cool. But I'm not sure it fits in with the rest of Tiger. I'm welcome to changes, but the new Mail seems really out of place. Especially the list on the left, that's just weird. It like jumps out of the interface. Comments on this?

So true...I've been mad at Apple ever since they made Brushed Metal, I love Apple, however, even though I'll pay the Premium for Apple, they're messing up a little, but IMHO, Apple oughta do the 'Palm thing'. The less you let out, the more people want it, however, they shouldn't make Palm's mistake. Palm let the rumours build up for the all the good features, and then never delivered them. Apple has the time, money, and the vision to do the 'Palm thing' the right way, and deliver a next generation Macintosh OS, to get all those Microdrones to switch...now if only Microsoft's legal team would "accidentally" all become poisoned...

It reeks of Outlook.

But I'm glad that they got the table off of the drawer and onto the window.

I agree it does look a lot like Outlook, but IMO the drawer was better because it kept that messy list off of the screen when you didn't need it. Maybe the new list is collapsable (I hope), but I really don't know.
