Graeme Mathieson has produced a great tutorial on using Mail.app as an offline archive for Gmail, complete with step-by-step instructions on creating the rules to push emails into the right folders and screenshots.

He recently switched to using Google apps for your domain but like any prudent Scot wanted access to his email when he is not online and “a backup should something go wrong” (see further — “Gmail user gets kneecapped” and the Gmail “Black Hole treatment”).

HardMac (Le Macbidouille) has more detailed shots of to-dos and to-do options.mail.app, apple mail, leopard mail, 10.5, to-dos, notes, rss feeds, screenshots, appleSimilar Posts:

CNet News carries a gallery of screenshots of the latest Outlook beta with commentary.

The fourteen images cover everything from the main window (see below) to the Compose Window (featuring a message in plain text!) to various preference options.

In the main window the most notable new thing is the To-Do Bar on the right of the window:

The beta continues the Microsoft design philosophy of overwhelming the user with options and buttons. Compare the Contact card in Outlook 2007b2 to the interface in Address Book:
