OSXDaily posted something interesting here
The geekier amongst us and those familiar with Unix should really like this trick. You can have Mac OS X 10.5 display the full directory path in the Finder window title bar by issuing a simple command from the Terminal.
defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES
Then you’ll want to kill the Finder for changes to take effect:
killall Finder
and the result looks like this:

To disable the full path title bars and revert back to the default, simply repeat the command with NO instead of YES as the operator:
defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool NO
killall Finder

with the switch from 10.4 to 10.5 i have changed my mail-client from thunderbird back to mail.app
basicly as i wasn’t 100% happy with thunderbird and on the other hand to give mail.app another chance.
Weeks later….not really happy with mail.app
Lets see what Correo brings….
Introducing Correo, a new open-source mail client for Mac OS X. Correo blends technology from two popular Mozilla projects, Camino and Thunderbird, to create a polished native Macintosh application.
There are many planned features for the mail client, including plugin capability (to allow development of extensions such as PDA synchronization), tabbed window interface, address book support, keychain access, and various other to-be-determined features.
