No, what I believe he's referring to is Mail.app's inability to handle
imap subscriptions.  If you use imap, it shows you everything.  Any decent
mailer these days will let you subscribe to certain mailboxes using
imap and only show those.  This is just one of the problems I have with
Mail.app.

Another problem I have is its lack of keyboard shortcuts.  WTF should
I have to use the mouse in my mail program just to go to the next
message (or unread message, or previous message, etc..)

Lack of role accounts.  I categorize my e-mail by using different
addresses for different things.  I want to be able to specify what
my return address is, or at the very least pick it out of a list
and that list shouldn't be tied in any way to a receiving server.

It also take a special add-on to integrate with GPG, but that's can
at least be worked around.

Granted, there isn't a mail program out there today that does everything
I want it to.  Evolution on linux is close, but it sucks in so many
ways that I refuse to use it anymore.  Thunderbird is getting there
and works ok under linux, OS X and windows.

Cheers,
Tanner
