This is indeed a wonderful plugin for Mail. After Leopard came out, I converted back to Mail from Entourage. The thing I missed most was a three-pane view. After WideMail [new name for WideScreen] added two-row options, I was most pleased.

One question remains, however: I noticed in the screen capture above that MailTags is working with WideScreenMail. Is this still possible in the latest version of WideMail? I tried adding MailTags without any success.

Thanks in advance.

I’d so much prefer if the sender, subject and dates were separate columns so sorting is possible on each and then each entry doesn’t also take up 2 lines of space.

Real estate is important to me as well as functionality. Looks like the Widescreen Plugin next release might actually do these things which will be very cool

Love the screenshot Dane. Can’t wait for the release of the new version. Thanks for doing this – being able to use Mail fullscreen like I am has encouraged me to learn to use “Spaces” as well.

We'll have to wait and see :-) Aaron is a pretty clever guy. He is, I read , "a PhD student in the natural language processing group of the Computer Science Department at Columbia University", so I'd say anything is possible.

Wow…Ok. Now that I realize that this is Leopard-only, once Letterbox comes out for Leopard, which of the two does a better job of utilizing a widescreen display?

So, how does this compare to something like Letterbox? Still on Tiger, btw.

Nice design and much easier install than the first version. Not a big fan of double line. I think the single is cleaner and easier to read.
