Apple has released a beta of its new MobileMe web email service. It’s slick and elegant in an Apple way, and should be great for personal use.
You get some decent semi-pro features too
- rule-based filtering
- out-of-office replies
- forwarding
- signatures
For business or heavy use it doesn’t compare to Google’s Gmail, which has better features for heavy emailers and allows you to manage a domain and administer multiple users, but aesthetes will appreciate Apple’s polished interface.
