Mail.app -

So for those of us coming from Outlook world here some changes/hints to ease the migration pain:


1) Got those fonts to a readable level:
a) Mail->Pref->Fonts - set all 3 to Tahoma (thanks you MS - a good readable font) and 11 pt except message font = 12pt
b) Turn off anti-aliasing for 12 pt and smaller fints in system prefs - see other blog entry on fonts (to be added later - these antialias fonts make me think I'm short sighted - all blurry.. grmpf)

2) In Mail world the root element is a mailbox (outlook folder) - you can have nested mailboxes.
a)You add a mailbox by selecting New mailbox OR right clikc within a existing mailbox
b) White folders (generated for example during import) cannot have mails in them, blue folders can.

3)



And now for some sizzle:

* get growl http://grpwl.info and setup the Mail.app plugin
