  • Leopard Screenshots

    New Leopard screenshots have been posted by ThinkSecret. I can’t wait until its release in October.

  • Redemption.. I Was Wrong!

    In my earlier entry concerning my switch to Apple Mail, I stated that Apple Mail had sub-par IMAP support. When I wrote this, I was under the impression that it was not possible to have separate Sent/Drafts/Junk/Trash folders (mailboxes as Apple Mail calls them) for your different IMAP accounts.

    Distribution List ability. Mail/Address Book on OS X supports distribution lists, but not the iPhone. This one baffles me as to why it was omitted.
