I don't see your proposal very far from mine: a full customizable sidebar with some kind of sources bucket. :) To make things clear, I've got some questions: 1. The "second window akin to Mailsmith mailbox list" is the top half in that proposal. Why it couldn't work? Why do you prefer a separated window? Pros and cons? 2. Thanks for the reminder on meta-searches. You're absolutely right, but since we're building a "great search system" with text queries, do you think hidden searches will be still necessary? 3. What do you think should be the default sidebar content when I add my first IMAP box? >> 3.

Roger. I'll work on it. ;) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list List help: http://lists.ranchero.com/listinfo.cgi/email-init-ranchero.com
