Ah, yes. I do see that........now. :-) Not used to seeing it there.
Thanks.
Kinda like that now that I see it. Keeps the "Folder" pane from needing to
become too big in order to see all/most of it.

Actually, I don't find it confusing at all since for someone needing multiple
accounts, this is likely the first, most natural function of having multiple
accounts in the first place. More over, there simply aren't enough
basic parameters in the "Filters" to properly handle the accounts'
possible needs. And I am quite used to having filters be used for the
"special" needs of a few occurrences that might come up that deviate
from the normal settings of the already set accounts, folders, etc.....

Huh. Never in all my life would I have ever thought to DOUBLE click a
link. Especially when nothing has happened when the cursor has been
placed over it.
Ok. I can deal. :-)

I have a lot to learn, I'm learning. Now pleased to leave behind almost
10 years of M$, there are some old habits and expectations that I'll
need to leave back there as well. But there were a couple of good ideas
"over there", though. Like actually putting useful tools INTO the program
instead of everything being about plug ins. Though there are times where
I do like to be able to choose which tool I'll use. But plug ins as an
option doesn't have to preclude offering the purchaser something built-in
as well.

Yup. And most all the other Mac programs I've encountered so far, not
to mention a whole host of PC and Linux apps too. This is not some
wild, pie-eyed notion. It's current, it's real, and it's quite reasonable to
expect it in a modern program.

haha. yeah. Functionally, not as useful as it might sound in "real world"
use. That's why I said before that it wasn't a deal breaker. Can come in
handy, but not really important.
Thanks david, much appreciated.
