I use mail.app daily, as I use OS-X on an MBP and mail.app is the
path of least resistance. But it has some cuties. It sometimes
decides that mail I've read in an imap account I did NOT really read,
and marks it unread again. This behaviour is completely random. I
have a number of colleagues using mail.app with the same IMAP server
I use and they never see this behaviour. Another ILUG member uses
mail.app on two Macs, and sees this behaviour on one, but not on the
other.
Just the other day I noticed that its searching is also pants. I have
an email which contains the exact string 10JAN07. mail.app can find
that, but can't find JAN07. Frankly, I'd like the searching to be at
least as good as grep.
