Like all the other new animations, this is a polarizing addition and some people hate it. <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/25/disable-the-new-window-animation-in-mac-os-x-lion/">Turning off the general new window animations in Lion</a> doesn’t change Mails animations though, because they are separately controlled by another defaults write command.</p> <p>Here’s how to disable it:</p> <p><code> defaults write com.apple.Mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool YES</code></p> <p>As usual this is very easy to reverse if you want the Mail reply-to animations back</p> <p><code> defaults write com.apple.Mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool NO</code></p> <p>I like the animation, but like the rest of the eye candy it can be distracting and even make OS X feel slower than it needs to be. </p> <p>Related, if you don’t like the new interface of Lion Mail.app, you can also <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/26/revert-mail-to-classic-layout-in-os-x-lion/">easily change back to the classic layout</a> which shows the new mail on top of messages.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YBdl1_2oafXRNuV8HYjW-Tgo2c4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YBdl1_2oafXRNuV8HYjW-Tgo2c4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YBdl1_2oafXRNuV8HYjW-Tgo2c4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YBdl1_2oafXRNuV8HYjW-Tgo2c4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=q6qu6VG_TyU:mX3CaAHR4yQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=q6qu6VG_TyU:mX3CaAHR4yQ:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=q6qu6VG_TyU:mX3CaAHR4yQ:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=q6qu6VG_TyU:mX3CaAHR4yQ:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=q6qu6VG_TyU:mX3CaAHR4yQ:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=q6qu6VG_TyU:mX3CaAHR4yQ:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=q6qu6VG_TyU:mX3CaAHR4yQ:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/q6qu6VG_TyU" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
