Apple Mail

Apple Mail changes the way you interact with your email every day.

Mail displays your messages and open email side by side in a widescreen, two-column view. The favorites bar below the toolbar works much like a bookmarks bar in a web browser, giving you one-click access to your mail folders.

A compact preview of each message — including the first two lines — lets you scan your messages at a glance.

Search suggestions help you find messages even if you’re not sure what you’re looking for. Just start typing whatever you remember — a recipient’s name, part of a subject line, a keyword — and Mail dynamically suggests matches. Search tokens let you refine what you find.

Conversations are a new way to read and manage email that automatically groups messages from the same conversation. Fully compatible with other email applications, Conversations reveals streamlined feeds of messages in chronological order, so you can see how each thread has progressed without having to search for individual messages.

Note: Apple Mail is included in all versions of Mac OS X. It can’t be downloaded separately. If you need to reinstall Apple Mail, an installer package for default Apple apps is available in the “Optional Installs” folder of your Mac OS X installation disk.
