Apple Announce new Mobile Me Mail Beta

May 13, 2010 in Tips by David John

Apple have announced a new version of MobileMe Mail is coming and are inviting users to take part in Beta testing. I have to say I am particularly excited about this announcement as it includes a fix for my main MobileMe gripe, the much awaited introduction server side mail rules.

New Features :

Widescreen and compact views. When reading your mail at me.com, the new widescreen view lets you see more of each message with less scrolling. Choose compact view to hide your folders or classic view to see more of your message list.

Rules to keep your email organized everywhere. Mail rules help you reduce inbox clutter by automatically filing messages into folders you select ahead of time. Set them up at me.com, and your rules organize your incoming email on the web and everywhere else — on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and PC.

Single-click archiving. Click the Archive button and the selected message is quickly filed into the Archive folder where it’s always available for future reference.

Formatting toolbar. You can create great-looking email messages using formatting buttons to bold or italicize text, change font color, insert images, and more. You can even create formatted web links to hide long URLs.

Improved performance. Mail at me.com loads your inbox and messages faster. And with interface refinements such as the ability to scroll through your entire inbox without having to manually click to load the next set of messages, you’ll be able to work more efficiently.

Increased security with SSL. With the MobileMe Mail beta, accessing your email on the web is more secure than ever. Your inbox is protected to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on your webmail. As always, you receive SSL protection when you use your MobileMe Mail account on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and PC.

MobileMe Mail beta works best with Safari 4, Firefox 3.6, and Internet Explorer 8.

How to sign up

If you are a MobileMe user sign in to your account and you should see the option to request an invite. Click and wait for your invite to arrive. Personally I can’t wait !!!
