Still being optimized speed-wise, but once it's loaded it seems faster
to _use_ for me, because you're not always having to go back to your
list, or back to your folders... they're there and loaded. And the
drag-n-drop feature (IE) to move messages to another folder is another
significant time-saver IMO.
The entire 7-frame set is loading initially in less than 2 seconds on my
DSL, and previewing messages or switching folders is nearly
instantaneous. What connection speed are you on?

You can double-click (IE only) on a message to open it in a new window
that's optimized for your screen height, or use the "Printable Version"
link in the msg preview frame to open in a new window. Once in that new
window, you've still got your next, prev, first, last, etc. links that
you're used to.

No, the folder list will stay there. What's the problem with having them
there, even if there are a bunch of them?
> Will there be an option for the popup new message?
Option to do what... not pop up the compose screen in a new window? If
that's what you're asking, no. Popping up the new msg screen means a
user will never lose a composed message due to a 12-min timeout. The
underlying frame set keeps the session current every 5 minutes. It also
means a user can compose more than 1 message at a time... each will get
a fresh window, like Outlook.

Simplicity vs. features... life's full of little trade-offs, huh? :)
That makes 2 Nays, and about 30 Yays for the v2 templates. Regardless,
we're going to continue improving and supporting our frameless
templates, too, so no worries.
Thanks for the feedback!
