Mac OS X Lion has a new Mail application that is very visually pleasing and would attract people who want a more premium look for their mail app.

What I mean is, the new Mail application in Mac OS X Lion has a new default UI that bares similarities to iPad's default mail app and the new Gmail app in Honeycomb.

The UI can hide or show the email inbox views on the left.  The layout is basically 2-3 columns, one is a thin column for the list of mail in the inbox.  It's modified to be be taller to fit the sender and date, email subject, and a summary of the content in the mail.

Mail is displayed to the right of the mail list column.  Conversations in this section are also separated by sections.  Much like how gmail separates email conversations.

I believe the mail app also congregates messages like gmail does which allows it to view emails in a conversation like said before.

This looks like it's mostly a dupe of bug 213945.
