Status bar is dead, long live Activity Viewer
Authored by: ash7 on May 25, '05 11:53:57PM

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.

Actually, if the status bar did those things in Mail 1.x, I wouldn't know, since I considered Mail to be an abomination until Tiger. :-)
