Once I get my favorite sources, I want that thing out of the way. For a user with many accounts, the full list of mailboxes may get unwieldy. With a separate window you get other layout options. Eg. many columns. One for each account + one for saved searches aka smart folders. > 2. Thanks for the reminder on meta-searches.

They are only necessary inasmuch functions are necessary in programming. (I guess you could copy and paste all that code over and over again… gaarhhh) I may even imagine doing it directly in the search bar. To get both letters lists together (contrived example, assume all on same line): init-list=list-id=~mail-init; dev-list=list-id=~letters-dev; init-list || dev-list (To go on an unwarranted language tangent: the OR operation is equivalent to set union. But people get confused. Maybe we should allow uppercase U too.) > 3. What do you think should be the default sidebar content when I add my > first IMAP box? All its folder, in a structure mapping the server's. (maybe only the subscribed folders.) Maybe, in addition, a couple of saved searches to exemplify them, like iTunes ships with reasonable smart playlists.
