The final Lion feature Apple wants to talk about today is the new Mail.app.

• Two or three column view, similar to iOS Mail.

• Smart new search suggestions. “It prompts you, when you select one, it becomes a search token, and you can have more than one,” says Phil Schiller.

• Conversation view, completely compatible with people who don’t have Lion.

It’s nice to finally see Lion’s default Mail.app catch up with the likes of Postbox, don’t you think? Hate the new logo though. Apple’s really embracing brushed steel again with Lion.
