Mail... (#2)

Well, mail seems to be quite a good package after all. Incredibly enough after requesting help from my friend, all I needed to do to hide the preview window, was to drag it all the way down or double-cklick the bar that split the window into mail-list view and preview window. To get the window back, all I needed to do was to double-click or drag the bar again. Simple and neat :) but too difficult for someone that isn't used to GUI userfriendliness.

To get recieved messages in the list view displayed with bold text, was simple too. Just select "Mail - Preferences - Viewing - Display new messages in bold font".

However, it seems that the Mailbox format Apple have developed for Mail is not the textformat mbox I've been used to. It is a format that Apple have developed from mbox into a easier indexed format called emlx. Mainly for spotlight indexing purposes it seems. There is however a utility allowing conversion from emlx to mbox if one want to switch back to the standard mbox file format. The utility is available from here.

So, I will be sticking with Mail. Then I have no need for installing a separate IMAP/POP3 server. Saves memory and space :)
