Before, emails with exchange would not send right away. Maybe 30 seconds to a minute after sending. Now they send instantly.
Some improvement but the mail app has always had one issue or another. Don't know why theres constantly issues.

Have you logged into Gmail and changed its settings? A lot of people don't and mail clients (OS X, Windows, mobile OS's) don't reflect on Google's servers. Many (not saying you) people don't modify the settings so that Google's servers handle the changes, by default deleted mail stays on their systems unless changed, or is archived. This creates years of emails that don't show unless the user reconfigures their mail client or logs in via a web browser.
This is crucial in maintaining your Gmail accounts across various platforms.
Excuse me? I've been using Macs for over 20 years. Yosemite's UI design is far below the standard that Apple has set for itself over the years. I'm not sure why they are changing to this "elegant, bright look", but it is a big step backwards in terms of a comfortable usable interface. The new Finder icon alone is a glaring example of just how far off-course they have veered from years past. There's plenty of other examples that I could present as evidence, if you need more.

This 20MB update took over 20 minutes to install. I sure am not happy with how the Software Update mechanism inside the App Store app works. I preferred the older standalone application.
Oh come off it. Apple has made plenty of questionable design choices over the years.
So this little post prompted me to finally go and look at some screen shots.
OUCH!!!
Yosemite gives me a huge headache!!! I'm serious. For some reason it felt like looking at an old Orange/Green screen low resolution monitor from the 80's. Does anyone else get this and know what I'm talking about?
I have no idea why it was doing that to me? Maybe the fonts or something?
When I saw Yosemite for a first time at a keynote, all I was thinking, was jumping on a beta ship immediately, and it was the first time that I decided to run an OS X beta version or any OS beta version for that matter, Yosemite's new design was/is that cool to me.
IMHO Yosemite has a far more elegant look than all previous versions; I can't even go back to Mavericks since I first used Yosemite.
But if the new finder icon is such a hindrance for you work I don't know what you're doing.
The font is way too condensed. There's no reason to do that, it's neither nicer nor easier to read, on the contrary. For example, in Bookmarks "k" and "m" touch each other. Then I switch back to Mavericks, and oh, again some readable text. Totally absurd to make it that condensed.
Bummer, I really want to make calls from my phone on my computer so I can ditch using Google Hangouts! People don't answer the phone because their caller ID gives them a weird number. I work in an office with fairly poor reception for phone calls btw.
You should be able to make calls on your Mac now via your phone, if you are running Yosemite and iOS 8.
I wouldn't get too excited. I can't believe I just read that they've just fixed an issue for Mail that "could prevent users from composing a message".
How was that even able to sneak through this late into development? Right now it should all be about adding some spit and polish, not patching & fixing major significant issues like sending an e-mail!
Same thing happening with me. I've submitted a bug report to Apple. Seems to be an issue only effecting a few people, so it's got to be a very specific change to code they made. I jumped over to using Unibox for now - which itself is still eating a bunch of memory, but at least it's not spiking and killing the app.
I accidentally clicked on Sent mail and haven't been able to launch Mail since.
This update had better fix THAT.

Which means that theoretically Apple could update Mail for earlier OSX versions like Mavericks and Mountain Lion, but they just don't want to, in order to force us to upgrade OSX and potentially have to buy new Macs. This is the sad fact, and this Mail update just goes to prove that.

This is Apple's intention.
Everyone sees change differently
Sorry, but I like the new UI much better than Mavericks. To me it has better contrast and more simplicity to find icons quickly.
Change is Change you either move with it or you stay in the past.
