Windows focus on smart mailboxes, actions, more
Indev has launched a new Apple Mail add-on, Mail Perspectives, that provides a new visual view of a user's mail. The app adds four windows to Mail, with specific purposes for each. The Perspective window works as a quick view, with a compact window that shows the essential details of messages in a selected mailbox or Smart Mailbox, while the Quick Look window previews full messages without requiring new windows for each message.
The third window, the Recent Mail view, shows a list of recently arrived mail, while the fourth window, Mail Actions, provides fast access to actions such as check messages and compose mail. Mail Perspectives works with all Mail accounts and mailboxes, like Gmail and Smart Mailboxes.
Mail Perspectives requires Mac OS X 10.6 and an Intel chip. It is expected to be Lion compatible when the OS update arrives in the future. The app costs $25, with an introductory price of $20 through Friday, March 18.

This is a great example of an app that tries to look powerful just by looking complicated. How does this do anything that isn't there already at a glance in the standard Mail window?
