Mac OS X Leopard: Mail 3.0

AppleInsider continues with their Leopard series with a look at Mac OS X Leopard's Mail 3.0.

In Leopard, Mail 3.0 (below) gets its biggest leap forward yet. Its window follows the unified Leopard window appearance, with squared off window corners that look like more like iTunes. As with earlier releases, many of its new enhancements come from integration with other new or improved services in Mac OS X.

The new Mail client introduces ToDo lists an Notes which are expected to eventually sync with the iPhone. Apple also reintroduces Data Detectors:

Emails in Mail that contain a date, phone number, or a contact (such within an email signature) are tagged with a drop down menu. Click on it and select "Create New Contact," and Data Detectors will scrape together as much as it can from the email: the name, mailing address, email address, phone and fax numbers, and copy them into a contact entry ready for your editing (below).

Apple also details many of the new Mail features on their website and provides a QuickTime movie demonstration.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is rumored to be released on October 26th, with Gold Master expected to be declared this week.
