Why I Switched Back to Mail.app

If you know me, you’ll know that I have been a Mailplane user for ages but recently with my upgrade to OSX Lion, I switched to the good ‘ol mail.app app. Now, don’t get me wrong, I still am pretty partial to Mailplane and there’s still a chance I might switch back once I feel like I’ve given the new version of mail.app a chance. That said, I’m pretty happy with the improvements that were made in Lion. Now, I can’t make a great comparison here because I didn’t really use the other versions of mail.app, but I used them enough to not really like the feel.

To me the new version seems to function so much more like the finder windows and seems a lot more friendly. That said, I will parry with the fact that I have been using Mac OS for several years now and have gotten used to it so they may have nudged me along over the years without me realizing it. Anyway, I dig it, it’s speed and I absolutely LOVE the full screen mode. So my style there!

All that said, what do you think of the new mail.app?
