I love my Mac, I really do, but damn why is Mail such a POS? Really do I need a three key combo to mark a message read? Why can't I have my smart mailbox mark its messages read? Let alone Mail went through all those trials and tribulations where it really didn't want to think you read your mail.

Still there are still other quirks that can be irritating, as others have mentioned window controls and my favorite, accidentally finding a three key combo that puts things off the main window or worse changes the zoom and you have to figure it out the hard way (yeah, have had Macs for over ten years now and there are key combos that elude me still)



Agree completely. You may want to checkout Airmail. Nice looking client with all of the GMail keyboard shortcuts enabled.

Plays relatively nicely with Exchange too.


Had to spend two bucks yesterday to find out that Airmail doesn't support the new Gmail folders (Primary etc). Back to Web client.
