Three Column Layout for Apple Mail

 became a switcher in 2002 with my first Mac. Since then, I’ve been a loyal Entourage user for mail. At the time, Mail, iCal, and Address Book just seemed too disjointed for me to take the full plunge. Well, I’m officially tired of Entourage, and I don’t feel like upgrading to 2008. So, I’ve switched to Apple Mail, and so far so good. :D

That said, one thing I missed right away was the three column layout. I used it in Entourage and still use it when using Outlook on a PC. Thankfully, Aaron Harnly has a had a fix for this for a while (leopard compatible) - check out his Letterbox plugin for Apple Mail. (Note: Only upgrade if you have a wider monitor, as the grid columns in the mail list are tight at smaller sizes.)
