BABYFETT I can't for the life of me figure out how to comment on the developers page. Apparently you need to join wordpress? Anyway, I'm wondering if you can somehow switch the windows so that the list is on the right and the email you're reading is on the left. My eyes want to go to the middle of the screen, not the far right. It's better than regular mail, but not by much for me right now.

STEVEN GOODHEART Great to have it back. Working great, with small exceptions noted in the outstanding release and installation notes. iMac Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.2

ROBOTANK It's great to see this SL compatible version finally up. Letterbox has had SL betas available for quite some time, but the latest one suffers (and has for a couple of months) from an irritating bug that causes the width of the columns to revert every time you quit Mail, and the developer has become mysteriously silent on when a fix may be forthcoming. At the moment, WideMail's implementation of the two-line display is also better than Letterbox's. In any case, I appreciate the work the developers of both plugins have done, and I'm delighted to finally have a stable option with this WideMail prerelease.

DAVID STEWARD Does anyone know when an update it likely? This must be the only thing I miss from 10.5 now that I have upgraded to Snow Leopard. | |

EJI I've been checking the developer's site two, three times a day for news. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the absence of WideMail makes my entire upgrade to Snow Leopard seem half-finished. Letterbox just isn't the same. I know WM is donationware, but still, getting on for two months since the public release is a relatively long time to wait. I wish Apple would just include a vertical view by default.

DAIYI I had been using Widemail and have nothing but good things to say about it. Sent in a donation. If you want this vertical view in Mail now, your only option is Letterbox, also a very fine application. I have had no issues at all since installing it recently. In the future, Letterbox will also feature a two-lined view. Both great applications. Just wish there would be some word about Widemail. If not, many users may be going over to Letterbox out of impatience or "necessity."

AESCHYLUS Widemail offers a two-row display, which keeps the center pane narrow enough to provide a wide preview pane. I don't recall that Letterbox offers more than one row. So I'm waiting for Widemail to be updated.

DAIYI I was trying to ascertain that, too, from Aaron's website. But from screenshots both on his site and MU, it appears that LB remains single-lined. Dane's two=lined approach in WM appeals to me more as well. Having some spacing between messages is easier to read and process information, not to mention being aesthetically very pleasing. And it's customizable in WM. Any progress reports, Dane? Operators at PayPal are standing by waiting for donations.

ROBOTANK As far as I know, the developer of Letterbox is planning to implement a two-line display in an upcoming release. I was using WideMail before Snow Leopard, but I'd rather have Letterbox for now than have to use the default Mail layout.

DAIYI Yes, I saw on Aaron's site that he was planning on making LB two-lined like Widemail. I hope that both of them are in contact so they don't overlap on their projects too much.

ROBOTANK If anyone running Snow Leopard is sorely missing the function of WideMail, the plugin Letterbox (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21899/letterbox), which is nearly identical to WideMail, now has a public beta available that works in 64-bit Mail on Snow Leopard. Check the developer's site for details. (I'm not suggesting that Letterbox is any better than WideMail, I'm just pointing out that it's an alternative to it, or at least something that can fill the gap until WideMail is Snow Leopard ready.)
