[G4] .Mail App

[Steve Goldstein]

Mail.app **works** for me, but it is an absolute drudge compared to Eudora which, though lousy at rendering HTML, and not coordinated with AddressBook, can thread operations (like fetching mail and reading mail at the same time), whereas with Mail.app, it can do only one thing at a time.  While Mail.app updates the indexes of various "smart" mail folders, for example, nothing else can happen.  You are dead in the water while you wait for it to finish.  Or, when you Send a message, you have to sit and wait for the "whoosh," whereas in Eudora and other good mail clients, you can send in the background and go on to another task while the sending operations take place.  Mail.app is fine for a person that works with only a handful of messages daily and does not have huge mail archives, but I find it terribly underpowered for my needs.
