Three redundant options?

2001-11-27 Thread Alastair Scott

Just noticed - what do Folder | Browse (and Account | Refresh Folders) and
Folder | Refresh do that is useful?

Folder | Browse appears to open the currently highlit message, which is
pointless from the menu bar as there are are several more sensible ways of
doing this, and the second two appear to do nothing at all - I don't even
see the tell-tale flicker of something being refreshed.

I appreciate that the second two might have some sort of meaning in
multi-user situations, but with a single user they seem to be redundant.

Maybe, but in my opinion, anything that has a shortcut should also
have a menu entry.  I usually discover functions in a program by
looking at the menus, not by trying every possible shortcut.

AS and the second two appear to do nothing at all - I don't even

They're useful when using the options under View - Display.  To
remove the display filters, you simply refresh the list.

By the way, you can quickly apply display filters by pressing ALT
while clicking on one of the columns in the message list pane.  Suppose
you ALT-click on the From field of this message, then only messages
from me would appear in your message list.  It is very convenient when
trying to find a message quickly.
