I do agree that regardless of how the messages are sorted using the space bar should go to the next unread message in the folder. -- Andy Fragen

Re: PowerMail bits and bytes
Dear Jonathan, Highlights... can this be an entire line instead of just a subject? Seems to be an awkward implementation. I think this is on purpose, as it allows you to start drawing a selection rectangle from the non-highlighted points in a line. Otherwise, if the full line was highlighted, starting a drag from a point within that highlighted area would have to start a drag of the message instead of starting to draw a selection rectangle - at least from a HIG perspective. Arrow Keys...Why can we not utilize the arrow keys in the recipients space to easily move to another contact. Having to use the mouse is ok, but the keyboard is much faster - especially when combined with Shift+Tab I think this is already possible: *.. Ctrl-up/down: select recipient (if already entered) *.. Starting to type: enter recipient *.. Cmd-up/down: choose adressing mode (To / CC / BCC, while entering recipient) *.. Backspace: delete currently highlighted recipient *.. Tab: move from Name to Address field (while entering address) Drafts... Anyway to set where these get saved? Why in the Out Tray? Why not in a Drafts Tray? I have found no preference for this and find it can be easy to forget about a message or two... Drafts are always at the top in the Out Tray (when sorted by Sent date and if they haven't been sent yet, even if they are older than other sent messages). Since I file sent messages with a filter away into their corresponding folders, I can keep the Out Tray sorted by Sent date without problem and see at a glance which messages are still in draft mode. You may also sort by Status, of course. Regards, Christian.

Highlights... can this be an entire line instead of just a subject? Seems to be an awkward implementation. Threads... I love the idea of highlighting by thread in Mail and it is something I always found great when scrolling through a long list of messages... Oh yeah! I totally agree for both of these.

PowerMail bits and bytes
So a few days into PowerMail and I am noticing things that work, but perhaps not quite as expecting having used Entourage and Mail... Highlights... can this be an entire line instead of just a subject? Seems to be an awkward implementation. Threads...

I have found no preference for this and find it can be easy to forget about a message or two... Message actions...Keyboard shortcuts... Why is there no way to mark read or unread from the keyboard? Has there been though about a contextual menu or actual menu to transfer messages into folders? That seems like an obvious one - especially when viewing through the Recent Mail view.
