Love the Mac > Apple Rejects MailWrangler App for "Leading to User Confusion"

Gizmodo: not Cellphoneshttp://gizmodo.com/5053232/apple-rejects-mailwrangler-app-for-leading-to-user-confusion [Gizmodo: not Cellphones] Apple's iPhone Mail app isn't bad, but for those of us looking to use advanced Gmail functions (like managing multiple accounts or starring items), an app named MailWrangler would fill in the gaps...that is, if Apple hadn't rejected the application from their iTunes store. Here is the message sent from Apple to the developer, six weeks after the program was submitted to iTunes:
