Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / May 2005

I agree.  Almost every application that made good use of them (Camino,
iCal, and now Mail) has now dropped them.  Shame.

Well, although I admire/respect Mail.app (10.3.9 here), I use Eudora
Pro /Mac (ad supported). I use hell of Spamcop's IMAP features ;) (I
bought mail account) It was a torture to setup it for international
chars I use btw.

Got good news for mac software scene (No, I didn't break in Qualcomm):
Its recoded entirely for Cocoa! Eudora forums (official), Mac lead
coder's post.

I tried Outlook Express, now its a really good application I must say.
They should continue it for OS X.

I see MS Win and Mac teams as entirely different and while I stay away
from their products, its very wrong to compare e.g. OE for Win to OE
for Mac. Especially OS X switchers never seen OE for Os 9 fall into
that error. Not blaming them of course.

I had replies to my support requests from very elite, legendary Mac
only software houses and when I checked what that Mac guru uses, it
always turned out to be Eudora or Entourage . Interesting :) If you
think about it and can imagine a 100.000+ downloaded softwares volume
of mail, you can easily understand of course.

Of course not naming anyone :)

[commenting on Mail.app as presented in Tiger]

I guess I'm going to be in the minority, at least in this thread of
discussion, as I found the Tiger version to be a far more elegant
implementation than the preceding version. There is a very clean and
uncluttered look, and I find it easy to quickly determine the status of
incoming mail.
