MAC MAIL
Looks as though we have a new version. Looks nice, particularly in full screen mode. The trackpad works nicely when scrolling over the three separate areas of the main mail application. Good job Apple.
The only issue so far has been using the "Rules function". Also there doesn't seem to be an archive function. What would be nice is if there was an option to archive email after a certain period of time etc or pick and choose what emails can be archived.
I get loads of mail from companies I have applications with or with companies I buy or sell from and to, also news updates etc, so I get loads of emails and my inbox get full rather quickly.
I'm pleased there is a "Rules" function, although it doesn't always seem to work automatically. There have been times when I need to restart mail. Actually the mail seems as though it was copied to the new folder, but still remained in the inbox. When I restarted mail, all was good.

First Post . . .
Hi Everyone, first post, just got my first mac laptop, the Macbook Air 13", very nice. Lion is v.nice too, lots of nice features. First impressions, well:
Looks absolutely fantastic, fantastic screen. Seems to be quite powerful, does everything very quickly so far. The tasks so far (purchased yesterday afternoon), have been working with iPhoto, iMovie, Mail, Safari and iTunes. Looking at "Activity Monitor", there is still around 1.5GB of the 4GB of memory free. I also started a few other applications to throw into the mix, Pages and Numbers.
The SSD is fantastic as well. The startup and shutdown times of the laptop is pretty impressive. Shutdown is around one second, while startup is probably less than 30 seconds. Without knowing too much about what is under the covers of Lion, it would seem Lion has something to do with these impressive start and shut times.
Some points about LION:
It seems to be a well balanced operating environment and with the trackpad gestures, the user interface and user interaction is vastly improved. The combination of gestures, launch pad and mission control. These features make the experience of Lion a good one on this laptop. I must admit there were a few times when I was wanting to touch the screen, just as on the iPad.
I must admit I'm still getting used to this interface, but on a 13" laptop, I can imagine the experience will be a good one, unsure if the same experience will be found on a larger screen.
