Windows Mail UI - Consistency with rest of Vista

[Guest]

"Nothing worth downloading it if one goes by the reviews so far, and
considering that I'm using 5270 as my primary OS I'd rather just wait
for
the public build due in April before pulling back out to XP for good
until
getting a MacIntel as my next machine "

LOL!

By the way, I agree with your view... with Vista's *inconsistent* UI
going the way it is right now, OSXI is going to improve leaps and bounds
from now. I'm sure Apple has finished polishing their new, elegant UI by
now, due this fall... when Vista is released...

....and it'll be running on Intel...

But things is we want a consistent UI across ALL Vista consumer
products:

Windows Mail
Windows Calendar
Windows Contacts
Windows Photo Gallery
Windows Media Player
Windows Movie Maker

I think some guys here misunderstand what we mean by consistent and say
"oh so you want every button and bar to be the same?" No that's not our
point. Our point is to have the UI LAYOUTS to be the same.

Windows Mail should scrap the old OE-style toolbar buttons on the top
and go for the consistent ones, that is, big blue bottons on the bottom
of the UI like in WMP, Windows Contacts,, etc.... you know... the big
blue bottons will be things like "Reply" "New Mail", etc

Nah! I like it just the way it is, I wouldn't mind they use the three pane
view as the default layout.

I find Windows Mail in 5308 a little better at remembering toolbar
customizations. And the dialup support is greatly improved.

You changed it Frank. Just as I did when I first set it up to a 3 pane
view.
