Those kind of smart folders always made me think of a workaround, not of a solution. That's why I'm thinking a way to avoid it. Why not allowing functions... or "saved searches", not forced to be attached to a smart folder? >> 3.

That's why I thought the "two panes" version like Keynote, because it solves also this problem. I don't find very nice replicating the entire structure of the mailbox... if you could just show the mailbox. But nonetheless you've raised good points. :) |D _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list List help: http://lists.ranchero.com/listinfo.cgi/email-init-ranchero.com
