Two other complaints of mine: why (for christ sake! – sorry …) isnt it possible to apply rules to outgoing mails? This used to be (and, of course, still is) a standard with Eudora (great, but ugly mail-client, btw; I am holding still hopes for Eudora X 7).

The Stop-button/icon in the activity viewer is darn ugly and a shame for Apple and the whole idea about the Mac, Aqua, gui’s in general etc. It looks so OS X-public beta’ish.

i’m actually very surprised to see this kind of behavior still hanging around in mail. they’ve done such a fantastic job in so many areas of the app. with all of the integration with spotlight and address book, i certainly have no plans of changing… fingers crossed that apple will fix this.

I’ll chip in with the loss of status bar as my top “whine” for mail. I suppose if everything was always running perfectly then the status bar would be unneeded. Until that grand, illustrious day I’d sure like to see what mail is doing at any given moment.
