I would just like to see smtp.mac.com work consistently enough that I 
could use it all the time. Not only is mac.com the most expensive 
email service out there, in my experience, it is the least reliable. 
I finally ditched mac.com for smtp entirely and just use my base 
ISP's SMTP.

BTW, I keep trying Mail.app every time they upgrade it, but have yet 
to find it viable for the type and volume of email that I use. Based 
on the current level of development, it will be at least a year, 
probably 2 before it reaches a "professional" level.  Let's face it, 
Mail is being developed for Apple's home users foremost, not for 
business/professionals.
