OK. It’s official. The new Spaces thing on Leopard rocks.

As I am the queen of having 500 windows open at once and only a 13 inch screen on which to view them, I have to say it is one of the handiest new features of leopard I’ve used.

I can’t find the easter eggs in this thing, though I’ve heard there is a Monte Python clip somewhere buried deep. I’m not the sort to sit right down and figure out my new os when I first install it, I sort of limp along until I need to really do it and then struggle through it.

Hence the reason I have a post 2 weeks ago about installing Leopard and just now I’m getting to learn spaces.

But then, I’ve never claimed to be organized.

**Update** I have just found the most cool feature: if I start to use skype, my itunes will automatically fade out to a mute so I can talk on my skype. When I hang skype up, my itunes fades back up so I can hear it!

Not actually. Although at first it appears that way.

This is the setup that causes this to happen:

Mac OSX 10.4.x
MacMail
SpamSieve email filter with folder named “spam” that is “on my mac”.

Everything works fine with this setup. No issues.

You upgrade to Leopard and suddenly, it appears you have no email.

What happens: Apple mail, when you upgrade to Leopard removes all plugins. This includes SpamSieve. When that happens, all your mail messages — spam and not spam — are dumped into your spam folder that you created for SpamSieve.

The solution: reinstall the SpamSieve plugin and manually move your messages from the spam folder to your inbox.

This is a great post explaining exactly how to do that

By the way, if you don’t use SpamSieve, it is the BEST spam filter ON THE PLANET!
