I personally use claws for several years (+- 10) and i think its great. the only thing that people might miss is the lack of edit html messages (it can write text only emails), but it can read html emails without any problem. it support calendar and meeting requests, attach remover and various gpg and smime via plugins, so it covers what people need. Its fast and light enough and many keyboard shortcuts when you dont want to use the mouse.

if you have imap, you may want to try the mulberry mail , it have the best imap support i ever used. its now open source, could use a facelift, but is very good.

It's amazing that no one's copied Mulberry's Reply dialog.

not everyone has outlook,

So use Thunderbird or Mutt or Mulberry or Evolution or Alpine or hell how about any of the others in this list under freeware or open source.

Email is based on open standards. There are hundreds of email clients if you are willing to take the time to look for them, and all of them (arguably) are better than Outlook.

1. I just tested exactly what you describe in your post above, and I still have "Show File" regardless of where I import to iPhoto from. Do I need to do another video to prove you wrong? It only takes me a few moments to record something that takes 10 seconds.
2. This is an amazingly trivial thing to quibble about. I've proved that you can export stills from iMovie (you take a still, then reveal it in Finder). If you're not happy about the way Apple did it, submit a bug on it. I have done this previously (an issue with Terminal in the developer builds of Leopard), and it was fixed ASAP.
3. From your movie, I cannot make out the window that you are claiming descends below the Dock. Personally, I've yet to manage to make a window that cannot fit completely on the screen. Mac OS X is aware of where the Dock is, and will resize windows to accommodate it. Take a screenshot of it, using the Cmd+Shift+3 built into Tiger.

I'm also interested in knowing how my not upgrading to Leopard to be like all my sheep Mac buddies has anything to do with my complaint.

I was pointing out that if you are as dissatisfied with Mac OS X Tiger as your whining on here and in your video makes you out to be, there are alternatives. You have an Intel Mac. You could install any OS you want to on it. That you are still using 10.4 merely indicates to me that you are going out of your way to find things to troll and whine about. Apple still supports 10.4, as well, for that matter, and you could submit a bug report on your Mail window problem (if it really is a problem; in your video I could not make out the bottom of the window being below the Dock). But I'm betting that you've submitted no bugs, as you're just here to troll and whine.

For that matter, it's not like Apple is forcing you not to use another mail client, there are a quite a few of free choices (Thunderbird, Eudora, Correo, and Mulberry spring to mind).

The problem with OSS is that there are just too many choices.

You're entirely right. Thank god that with closed source, there's only one media player to choose from. And only one web browser. I'm so happy that there's only one closed source mail client too!

I would make my point further, but my comment would be rejected as spam...

Try Mulberry.
It's not free, but it beats the crap out of most other clients out there, especially when it comes to IMAP. Has pretty much everything Thunderbird does, but also a whole lot more. Could not be happier.
Available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris, with configuration interchangable between all of them.
