[Macpartners] FW: Feedback for Apple

Hello,

Several staff would like a more elegant mail application.
The feature missed the most is stationary. We receive repeated  
questions re the same topics. Our staff could hit reply and then  
select the stationary for the response. This impacts work the most.

A few users would like high priority mail to be more obvious.


Another user has submitted the following:

-In Eudora, you could change the background color and font color of  
your inbox. I REALLY miss this - you could make it easier on your eyes.

-In Eudora, when looking in a specific mailbox, it would open a new  
window.  In AppleMail, the mailbox opens in the same window as your  
Inbox which can be confusing - it is not easy to see where you are  
located and can easily think you are in your Inbox instead of a mailbox.

-In Eudora, you could preview an email below the list of messages  
without the message getting marked as seen.

-Message Importance indicator appeared in red so it was easier to see  
when a  message was marked as important

-No little expression faces in AppleMail like there was in Eudora  
(like happy face, etc.)

I'm sure there are other features too, but these are ones I thought  
of right away.

Thank you,

Karen Johnson
