On the whole I would give Mail.app a very positive review. The newest version, included in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, adds some great new features. Automatic setup means that if you use a popular service like Gmail or Hotmail or Yahoo, all you need to set it up is a username and password. Another excellent feature is basic RSS feed aggregation. It is a very simple implementation, less powerful than apps like NetNewsWire, but it is dead simple to use. The only negatives to Mail.app are these two things: it only runs on Mac and it&#8217;s shutdown behavior is not standard. What this means is that if Mail.app is busy (for example, trying to talk to a server that isn&#8217;t responding) it may block you from logging off or shutting down, requiring you to wait or force-quit the app. Despite this shortcoming, I fully recommend Mail.app to any Mac user looking to make the transition from web-based email clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple&#8217;s Mail.app is the IMAP\/POP email application included with every Mac.
