Hi Carlo, My occupation requires that I keep a lot of information confidential including names and addresses. As a result programs such as iCloud are of no use to me.
What I would like is for Mail to be better suited to business use. Spotlight is a boon, but that was also the case before Lion was released. I like the idea of having a record of text messages.
