Morning, Just a bit of topic, with the email.
I have gone back and forth with a MacBook Pro from Lion to Snow Leopard. MacPro dropping drives in and out for same reasons. Just for my own testing, and the need to access Rosetta. I have never ran into an issue with email, although I admit I use IMAP protocol. But MAIL.app in either OS X has performed without issue, although I store mail on server. Gmail or own IMAP servers, and intranet IMAP again, but stored locally on OS X server. Many OS X versions in house no issues I have seen. Just curious, thats all??
