WideMail (formerly WidescreenMailPlugin) is a plugin for Mail.app for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard which turns the message view from a two-row horizontal view, to a two-column vertical view.
Tech Support was the best that I have experienced in my 23 years of Mac use.
When I couldn't get the preview window to appear the software developer (in Australia) responded with very prompt email; and when I proved to be a bit dense he suggested that we use iChat - so that he can "Share my Screen" an amazing iChat feature that I was unaware of.
He then walked me through everything that there is to know about this great Mail plugin.
This is my favorite Mail plugin. The only one that I use currently is called "Mail FX" That too is freeware. (Version 0.5.1)
DANIELHOWARD Hi, I had widemail installed and then the message viewer column disappeared. I have un-installed and then re-installed widemail but can't get it back.
MICK G. I love this plugin too and was happy to find this LetterBox replacement yesterday after my Leo upgrade nuked the Tiger only plugin.
But I'm curious, it seems to have created a slight delay in message deletions. Has anyone else experienced that? It now takes about 1.5 seconds for a message deletion that used to be instantaneous.
I'm running 10.5.2 with all the latest Apple upgrades and would be interested if anyone else has seen this.
FAILEDSAINT for some reason, I can't seem to get the 2nd line to show up. i have both check boxes checked in the formatting section of preferences and I have reinstalled already. Any thoughts? (Version 0.5.1)
DAI YI This is a fantastic addition to Apple's Mail, especially for those used to Entourage. The developer has produced an excellent product and is very responsive to user requests. After remarking how I missed using text colors to filter messages, Dane had 0.5.1 out within a few days! (Version 0.5.1)
