1. When I right-click or control-click to bring up a context menu in the
   message list, what say you WAIT UNTIL I SELECT AN ACTION before spending
   a quarter of a minute hauling its virus-infected corpse from the server
   and rendering the worthless rich text spam on my screen. I might be about
   to delete it, for all you know.

2. When I *do* want to see a message, I want to see it now, not after you
   have elegantly animated the old message fading away, so how about giving
   me an option to turn that off?

3. Who designed your icons? Hey look, there's a picture of a mailbox with
   mail in! I'll bet that gets me new mail... no, it slides out a tray with
   a list of mail folders in it. Now how do I get mail? Oh, it's that fan
   of envelopes that look like a hand of playing cards. That's obvious.

It's mostly a pretty decent mail program, just... needs a bit of polishing.
I wouldn't complain, except that I'm afraid Apple's working on new timewasting
animations instead of actual useful UI enhancements (at least if their new
Finder is anything to go by they are).
