[G4] .Mail App

[Tim Collier]

Ahhh, see I use the mail app like this:  the accounts thingy on the  
left (can't move it anyway) and a pre-view pane on the right, at the  
top of the preview pane are the email messages.  I can scroll through  
the messages and the content is displayed below.  To me (at least)  
this is the perfect way to view mail.....it's more or less the same  
as Entourage.  The mail app handles .Mac accounts better, Entourage  
syncs slowly and you have to wait for it.  The mail app doesn't do  
this and when I quit, it quits immediately.  In Entourage, even after  
quitting it stays 'alive' cleaning up or whatever it's doing....I  
didn't like this.

Exterminate all rational though.
