I wasn't just talking about mobile, but your assumption isn't correct for me at least. I haven't configured all my accounts on my iPhone, but that's in part because most of my email accounts feed into my GMail acount. Of course the email stack ignores all those big GMail folders unless I go in there, and it doesn't download messages until I open them.

Don't you see it? If you only get and send a few simple emails a day, why would you want to reserve hundreds of Mb to the email client that could be spent so much better on that desktop you play so much more with? ;)

Even the one that involves DBus?

The Mac is not to blame here and let's also not talk about KDE devs who think they know how things _have_ to be done on Mac (and that DBus is off-limits). In a sense Qt never got it right with their DBus wrapper which wraps the FreeDesktop.org D-Bus rather than providing an interface that hooks into existing platform APIs to provide *a* desktop bus.
