Most of us who have setup the ability to use the spaces have become used to allocation applications to different spaces. However, what can be time consuming is getting information or a quick look from an application that you do not intent to use or to stay in.

I recently found a way to do this in Mac by doing the following…

So say that I am in a browser.

However, I get an email which I know because I hear the ping sound from my computer.

I can see what I received without navigating to Mac Mail and back again by simply leftmouse clicking and holding the button down.

This will bring up the Mail application in spaces mode, where I can view the mail header. If the mail does no appeal to me, by releasing the mouse button I can be returned to the original space without any other effort. This is an awesome capability that I do not know how long it has existed in Mac.
