Quick Search Folder Navigation

2003-09-27 Thread Allen 

I  use  the  Quick  Search  toolbar  quite a bit on an every day basis
trying  to  find  this or that message -- which works fine when I'm in
the main TB window. But I have only my message list in that window, no
preview  pane, and actually read my mail in a separate window. I often
find  myself  wishing that I could display the Quick Search toolbar in
the  'view  folder' window, as well, but as near as I can tell this is
not possible . . . would love to see it as a new feature.

Also, when in the main client window moving to the next unread message
(  ctrl  +  alt  +  -  )  if there are no more unread messages in the
current folder it will move on to the next folder with unread messages
within.  In  the folder view, however, such is not the case and I must
manually  move  on to the next folder. I'd like to, at least, have the
option  have  folder  view behave similarly, allowing me to seamlessly
move from folder to folder chasing unread messages.

I didn't want to send these to the wish list if no one else would find
them useful, so . . . any feedback?

AM Same here. I've been wanting this feature for a very long time.

Is  it in the BT wishlist? I'll double check and submit it . . . can't
hurt to try.

AM I share your sentiments as well.

Maybe I'll wish list that, too, then . . .

AM However, as an alternative to this, I view all new messages in a single
AM separate window. This is the Window that displays all ticker messages
AM for browsing. You could configure the ticker to display unread messages
AM for particular folders. Double click on the ticker, or use your
AM configured hotkey to bring up the ticker virtual folder. Enable
AM View/Message List. You can also enable the 'Folder' message list column
AM so you get an idea of which folder the messages are from. You could also
AM sort according to folder so that the messages from particular folders
AM are clustered together. In this way, you're browsing new messages
AM without having to move from folder to folder. Works very well for me.

That  wouldn't  work  so well, for me, though . . . I suspect that, in
your case, the mail ticker is more or less a permanent fixture on your
desktop? I only display my Inbox and Inbox - Known folders. Basically,
only'personal'stuff   appears   there.   When   I'm   skimming
folder-to-folder  for  unread messages, it's usually my TB newsgroups,
my  RSS  subscriptions  [IMAP  via  blogstreet],  and  my  usenet  via
mailgate.  This  is  a  bunch  of  messages  that  I don't really need
broadcast  on  the  ticker,  as  I  already  just assume they're there
waiting for me to get to them -- so that work-around won't really work
so  well  for  me.  Subsequently,  I  end up having to ctrl+alt+g then
select  the next folder manually. Which, of course, is not big deal in
and  of  itself . . . BUT it seems that there /could/ be a better way,
quite  easily.  And  as  a  long-time TB user, I'm spoiled rotten -- I
expect there to be a quicker way to do pretty much every thing . . .
