Apple dialed in the AJAX goodness in the LONG ANICIPATED, MUCH NEEDED update to .Mac Webmail, making it once again USEFUL!

New features include:

  • Drag-and-drop functionality
  • A message pane
  • Quick Reply
  • Address Book integration
  • Message previews
  • Message flagging
  • Keyboard shortcuts

Still sports IMAP (Curious to see how many people actually uses IMAP?), and works seamlessly with Safari 1.2 or later, Firefox 1.0.4 or later, and Internet Explorer 6 or later.

If you are a .Mac user, why don’t you try it yourself

    So does the webmail interface pull email from your local install of Mail? – IMAP and POP accounts configured locally mirrored online? That would rock if that’s the case.

  2. Kyle says:

    I use IMAP. I don’t know why anyone would use POP if IMAP is available.

  3. Kuswanto says:

    Because they are familiar with POP works, People tend to choose the system they know Kyle.

  4. Derek says:

    IMAP can be inconsistent at times. Sometimes – depending on the method that I’m using to access mail – sent messages, trash, or drafts are not synced throughout (even if all are set to save to the server).
