Three-pane Mail.app turns into a plug-in


Well that was quick. First Mail.app received a widescreen, three-pane face-lift, and now it's been morphed into a plug-in. The author provides two different sets of instructions for installing: drag and dropping into your ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/ directory or using a couple of commands in Terminal. Go nuts ladies and gentlmen.

We've been working it for a while now, seems just dandy save the occassional user.

Just FYI, it's not an either or thing with the command line. The command line commands are for enabling you ability to use bundles at all. If you don't do that part and haven't installed any other Mail plugins, it won't work.

Works great here, too. The only issue I can see here that is directly caused by the plugin is that Mail no longer remembers a folder's threading state. Without this bundle if you expand all threads in a folder Mail would remember it for later.

The other issue is column widths can be a bit flaky, but they were like that before anyway - one annoying-as-hell bug with Mail that I wish Apple would finally fix.

I tried it an it worked except for the fact that now I get no mail alert sounds. No ding when new mail comes in and no SWOOSH when mail goes out....
