So maybe everything isn’t totally rosy in Leopard world. Apple promised we’d be able to sync notes from our iPhones to Mail.app but it turns out this is impossible. The new Mail.app has a sort of “Note to self” feature which is actually an email generated to look and act like a little note. The notes appear in your mailbox as a mail message, provided you’re not using Mail.app, but appear as a separate entity in Mail.

With Leopard shipping, I think it is safe to slink from behind Apple’s ADC NDA finally.

Based on how Notes and To-Dos work in Mail 3, I am betting that we will see an update to MobileMail on the iPhone that will bring some level of “syncing” between the iPhone and the Desktop.

In Mail 3 on Leopard, if you are using an IMAP account, the Notes and To Dos you create in Mail are stored on the IMAP server.

My guess is that a future update to MobileMail on the iPhone will bring the same functionality - at least for IMAP accounts.

It should since that takes care of the “syncing” to some extent. Unless Apple is totally lame and requires something like .Mac
