I made a bad mistake: my job email server supports IMAP, so I read email using Thunderbird (on Vista), but keep the mails at the server. I had to go to client for a week, so I set the account for Mail.App. But, I set it to use POP, so all the email was moved to my Mac from the server. Is...

I am thinking on buying MacBook Pro, once Leopard is available. MBP comes with 2GB memory, but it is upgradeable to 4GB. On 32 bit OS not the whole 4GB is usable, since devices use part of the memory space. But with 64 bit OS, devices can be mapped after the 4GB of memory, so one can access the...
