I love it
At first i was weary but once i customized the toolbar to not be centered and include the options i want, i love it. I think it just looks really nice and make getting mail easy.
status line
i want it back! where else can i see those 3000 messages in my trash and those 75 waiting for reply?
Love It!
I just don't get why people supposedly "hate" the new Mail so much. I mean, from the dozens of comments I've read, you'd think Apple had made Bin Laden heads for buttons!
Love It!
actually, it is quite easy to unindent it. just go to customize the toolbar and delete (drag away) the flexible space.
Toolbar Question
The standard command-drag in the toolbar trick doesn't work in Mail. What gives?
Toolbar Question
ctrl-click on the toolbar & select customize from the menu
Went from hate to love
I started out hating the new UI. Now I see a pretty good design. The trick for me was to uncenter the toolbar and view the entire application like columns. Then place the buttons over the columns that made the most sense. While lacking some polish, I like the function and flow.
My first impressions of Mail 2
I started up Mail 2 almost as soon as I upgraded to Tiger as I was interested to see how the new User Interface felt. The new UI in Mail 2 is gorgeous, as soon as you remove the unnecessary space on the left side of the toolbar. The blend from the title to the toolbar looks swish and the icons/graphics are stunning. Apple have done a brilliant job of producing an aesthetically satisfying
My first impressions of Mail 2
Very trippy use of bold, to be honest.

Somewhat like
I voted for somewhat like it as there are improvements to the interface. However, there are also some bad regressions - the unread/read toolbar buttons are virtually indistinguishable on a quick glance whereas it was immediately obvious what the status was with the old versions. Get rid of the somewhat ugly button-style background from the icons and I would like it a lot more.
I miss the drawer.
I had the drawer on the right side of my Mail window. I had gotten used to it being there. I liked the fact that I could change which side the drawer was on if I felt like it. Now I'm stuck with it on the left.
I miss the drawer.
Yeah the drawer and placing it on the right side is one of the things I miss most about mail. The new buttons don't bother at all. But I liked being able to open folder in a new viewer and then close the drawer to give me back screen real-estate. I found it especially useful when doing a bunch of cut and paste and drag and drop from an organized folder. Now, not only is the mail folder list now on the left, when you hide the folders the window shifts and grows by the amount of space occupied by the list.
Great functions, the UI is terrible
I like the new functions Mail.app now offers a lot. Like Smart Mailboxes, the substantially faster search, per account signatures and the Connection Doctor to name a few. On the other hand I totally disagree with the new interface. It has lost a lot of things that were there before. Both in terms of useability and features. Just to mention, that it's totally against Apple's own Human Interface Guideline.
Conclusion: Apple has added a lot of new stuff into Mail.app which is great. Overall it feels a lot faster and polished in terms of features. On the other hand the user interface is a terrible step backwards, taking away a lot of choice and information from the user, that was there before.
I miss the drawer.
Same here. I had the drawer on the right side. That way I kept just enough of the left side of the mail window exposed under my other open apps to see when new e-mails came in. I really hope Apple fixes this. I don't see why the folder list has to be on the left. I doubt that really fits with how most people probably use a mail client anyhow.
Left-justify the toolbar and it's all good
Funny, most people seem to say the same thing: once I left-justified the toolbar I was happy. I had the same reaction.
TABBING in the UI?!? - ARG!
I think Apple made nice UI changs to Mail.app, but they've really BRUISED one particular user experience:
TABBING in the UI?!? - ARG!
Sounds like you have full keyboard access turned on in Keyboard shortcuts of the Keyboard & Mouse Pref Pane. If you turn that off, tabbing works as expected. You can also hit control-F7 to turn it on and off.
