Formatting window layout in Mail

Is it possible to layout the windows in Mail similar to Outlook? I have really come to like the side-by-side layout that Outlook uses. right now I have the preview pane on and my drawer on the right side. I think it makes more sense to just have everything flow from left to right (Mailboxes/Folders -> Mail -> Preview Pane).

Let me know if this is possible.

If you want your side panel to the left, close the side panel, move the window to the right side of screen, then open the side panel.

I realize I can do that, but what I'm looking to do is have all windows display in vertical columns. It is very similar to the way you navigate through the Finder using the column view.

If you use or have seen this feature in Outlook, you would know exactly what I mean.

Not currently, but the new version of Mail that'll be shipped with Tiger seems to be like this. That is of course depending on how accurate the screenshots were that I've seen. There was another thread in one of the forums here about it. Heres a link to a screenshot in that thread: http://www.macosx.com/forums/attachm...achmentid=4518
