Mac OS X Mail

Mail

The new version of the world-class, standards-based email application included with

Mac OS X features a new look, searching and Smart Mailboxes powered by Spotlight,

parental controls, an HTML-based text editing engine, .Mac synchronization of mail

settings, and a slideshow view that displays attached images full screen.

Mail features a new look, with new toolbar buttons and a redesigned mailboxes view.

Parental controls allow you to decide whom your child can send mail to and receive

mail from. When your child tries to send mail to an unauthorized person or receives

mail from an unauthorized person, you get an email notification that shows you the

message and lets you approve the email address.

Spotlight-powered Smart Mailboxes help you organize your email according to criteria

you define, by gathering related messages from all your mailboxes and displaying them

in one Smart Mailbox. Maybe you want to see all the email messages sent to you this

week from your manager, or all the messages that contain the word “Paris.”

The search field in Mail is powered by Spotlight, so searches are fast and accurate.

The integrated slideshow feature lets you view images you receive in an elegant

full-screen slideshow. You can add images directly to iPhoto from the slideshow.

Mail formats the email you compose as HTML, ensuring that your messages appear just

as you intended on other platforms that have HTML editing in their mail applications.

Email is one of the most common ways

people share images with friends, but

email messages with attached images are

frequently rejected by ISPs because the

message is too large. Mail addresses this

issue by giving you the option to resize

your photos from the compose window

before you send your email. Just add one or

more images to your message and use the

controls at the bottom of the window to

resize your images.
