Mail.app for me

It’s not lost on me either that the first thing I tried to do with Gmail is hook Outlook up to it. I can’t stand using the Web browser for email. And I have both the beta of the new Hotmail as well as Google’s new corporate Gmail and Maryam uses Yahoo’s email (formerly Oddpost). These are the three leading web-based email systems. I know many of you are OK with reading your email on the Web, but I’m too used to having my email offline. It gives me peace of mind to know I’m in control of my access to my email.

Much as I love Gmail I have to agree with scoble that I need to process my mail off-line and have a real problem with the gmail web interface. I get all my gmail delivered into Apples mail.app where I filter and process using multiple rules and create lots of new mailboxes and smart mailboxes to organise my mail.

I just like it that way!

How come a lot of people call Mail, Mail.app? iTunes is an app and no one says iTunes.app or even System Preferences.app.

:D

Never thought of that. Perhaps it's just because mail on it's own could refer to the mail subsystem rather than the Apple mail client app.
