Mail, Address Book,<br />

and iCal<br />

Mail<br />

The Mail application in <strong>Leopard</strong> has undergone some significant changes. Although it has<br />

always been capable of managing e-mail, the new version can also manage notes and RSS<br />

feeds. Additionally, Mail has improved integration with Address Book and iCal to help provide<br />

a unified time and contact management solution. In this chapter, we will cover all three applications:<br />

• Mail<br />

• Address Book<br />

• iCal<br />

Mail is Apple’s e-mail application that has been part of <strong>OS</strong> X from its start. With each new<br />

release of <strong>OS</strong> X, Apple refines the Mail application a bit. With <strong>Leopard</strong>, Apple not only refined<br />

the interface a bit, but it also added a whole slew of new features.<br />

Working in Mail’s Interface<br />

CHAPTER<br />

11<br />

If you’ve used Mail in Tiger (<strong>OS</strong> X 10.4), then, despite a few noticeable interface tweaks and the<br />

inclusion of some new features (notes, To Do items, and RSS), you should be able to find your<br />

way around quite easily. If you are entirely new to Apple’s Mail application or have used only a<br />

version prior to the version that shipped with Tiger, then you may need a quick overview of the<br />

interface of the Mail application in <strong>Leopard</strong> (Figure 11-1).<br />

By default, Mail’s main window is the Message Viewer window. It is presented in a traditional<br />

three-pane layout. The column on the left provides a hierarchical list of your mailboxes,<br />

folders, and other items. The top-right pane lists all the items contained in the mailbox or folder<br />

selected on the left, and below that is a view area to view any selected item in the top area. Basically,<br />

it’s a traditional mail layout that is common among many mail clients and many other<br />

applications.<br />
