The wish-list ist long: "Let's hope iOS Mail gets some long overdue features like smart folders. The inability to filter the view for unread messages is ridiculous in a 6th generation mail app."

"I would love to see Mail become more a power user app adding the ability to Flag for followup. Not the Flag we have now which is only a filter, but more like Outlook so that I can Flag an email like a task and give it a date to remind me."

Mac Mail is an abysmal fail. Can't handle IMAP and POP accounts combined, always asks for passwords (Keychain issue, probably). Went to TB and will never look back.

What do you mean by "Can't handle IAMP and POP accounts combined". I've got 2 POP, 3 IMAP (one is my iCLOUD account) and one Exchange account, and I don't have any problems.

I have occasionally been asked for a password, but "always"? Nope.

Good luck.

Something about cash flow, ice cubes and hell, comes to mind.

Never use this, don't care but I'm sure others do.

No kidding.

"I would just be happy if Time Machine would check cpu load before kicking in (nice is hardly a new concept..)!"

Nashton
Never use that unreliable junk. Too apprehensive to let software made by Apple near my backups.

LOL

"shame on apple for making it impossible to efficiently use screen real estate (as i used to able to do in Snow Leopard) in a product they sold me that marketed itself as increasing my screen real estate."

Nashton
That is why Macs are an abysmal failure. Stuck at whatever % of market share and falling.

LOL

Apple's market share has been consistently growing and now tops 10% in both the US and Canada.
