10.4: How to unindent Mail's toolbar buttons
Rob, the status bar also showed, well, *status* on whatever Mail is doing at the time. When I'm checking mail, I have no idea if it's getting hung up on an account, or if some background task like "updating Junk mail status" is running without opening the Activity Window, which is *very* annoying.

I agree this is a little silly. I finally got up and running with my mail last nite. Before I had gotten my SMPT server settings right, i tried sending a message and had no idea what was going on until 1 or 2 minutes later when all of a sudden an Outbox mailbox was created and i got a message asking to verify my password. I'd like to see a Status Bar telling me "connecting to SMPT server...sending/receiving 2 of 3...etc). I thought i just wasnt seeing the new place where this info was being displayed, is there really no way to display?

Exactly, the removal of the status bar is probably one of the biggest mistakes in this version of Mail, and the removal of the Inbox still baffles me as well.

I agree the mising status bar is bad but what do you mean by: "Removal of the InBox"? It hasn't been removed on mine.

The missing status bar has been an irk to me in an otherwise solid upgrade (hell, I'm even one of those people who actually <em>likes</em> the new toolbar design). What kills me even more is the very obvious place they should have it: at the bottom of the window, just like it is in the web browser they make.
Status bar is dead, long live Activity Viewer
The Activity Viewer in the Window menu now replaces the status bar and is probably a bazillion times more helpful. You can view all running processes and kill ones that are taking a long time (say, updating color on 4,000 messages... slow!). Yes, it's not as nice as having something integrated that constantly tells you what is running, but it does give you more functionality as a tradeoff. I obscure it 90% with the main window so I can see if *something* is active. |
