Mikael - First off, I realize that you are absolutely on the "other side" of our viewpoint and I will not try to convince you in any manner.
Rick's posting made it clear why one window is - for us - way more appealing than having to deal constantly with 2 windows overlapping on the same screen. If it doesn't "demonstrate" to you or you don't have a problem with this, that's just as fine, but there ARE people who have issue's with this. Also, if you check out what Smart Folders ARE, you'll find that you will find "all with the singer = XXX" and such stuff which is just as good as using a filter telling to put all mails coming from XXX into so-and-so folder. Thus Smart Folders are VERY much like using filters and if I can assign these criteria to each folder instead within the filter window, this will leave me with less clutter in the filter window. You might need to try a bit and try not to be resistant to the idea itself, just try and look at it - this doesn't mean you need to agree with it either, but it might help you to understand where we are coming from - and as usual, having a preference setting which enables a user to turn something on or off is always useful in divided camps. ---marlyse ------------ former message(s) quotes: ------------- >Marlyse Comte said: > >>Nice posting.
