PowerMail filters to the rescue! I like to live in the Recent Mail browser so I can see new messages even though they've been distributed into folders by my filters. With the recent increase in PowerMail Discussion traffic, my Recent Mail browser is full of these messages, making it difficult to see my work messages this morning.
So... PM 5 now (I think PM 4 didn't let me if I'm correct, but maybe I just never noticed it) turn off displaying new messages in the Recent Mail. Neat! -- Sherman
