.Mac becomes Mobile Me
Thumbnail of the .Mac initial test
The much improved Mobile Me rendering
When we first tested .mac, it had a lot of problems. Our email ACID test did not render very well at all, and we ranked support overall as ‘Improvement Recommended’. This was slightly suprising given then excellent rendering abilities of the Mac desktop Mail client.
So after the release of the new Mobile Me, and after the associated outages and glitches, we were very keen to run the test again. The good news is that the results were dramatically improved. Nearly all of the previous problems had been corrected, and the email rendered almost perfectly.
Background colours and images are correct, positioning of elements works well, and even list images show up. The one oddity is what you can see in the thumbnail; headings. We found that while our H1 tag rendered perfectly, H2, H3 and below would not accept styling from a stylesheet in the head.
There’s no obvious explanation for why that would be the case, but during our testing and fiddling we were not able to get it to work at all. Lower level headings remained stubbornly unaffected by margins, background colors, padding and more.
Perhaps someone from the Mobile Me team can explain? Overall though, the rendering is hugely improved, and has earned an ‘Excellent’ rating. This is another great example of how webmail clients don’t need to render poorly.
Thanks to everyone who emailed us about Mobile Me, including Georg Stadler and Stefan Kremer who both sent in screengrabs.

WoW this client looks so cool..-that´s one of the things why they love their macs…
Thanks for the good review. I still don’t understand why Apple charges for this tool though. It seems like it would help to market the Mac (and other apple products) better much like iLife does. I don’t really care to try the free trial, because if I like it, I know I still won’t want to pay for it. Ah well.
Thank you very much. Excellent article.
The Mobile Me rendering is definetely better!

Nothing wrong with it. I am glad they switched, heck it’s a whole character shorter… Now, I would bet a million bucks they could monopolize over the exchange/sync email type market over microsoft IF THEY JUST allowed your OWN DOMAIN to be used on the accounts. , would work with your ME accounts. Now we have something there? Why don’t they do this???
