Guide Review - MySpace Mail Center to Outlook
MySpace Mail Center to Outlook definitely could have been named better, as it really has nothing at all to do with the popular Microsoft email client. However, it does a pretty nice job of straightening out the Mail Center by removing items that are rarely used by the majority of MySpacers. The result is a sleeker and easier to read interface. With that said, there are many folks who like seeing the thumbnail image that accompanies each message. You might also be interested in the online status of the people with whom you are messaging. In that case, this script may not be right for you. If it turns out you're looking for just the message and nothing else, then installing it may bring you some Mail Center satisfaction.
