Yes. All one has to do is spend a few minutes in Mail and play around with the smart folders to see how unbelievably powerful they are. After all what is RMW but a smart window with the criteria of 'new message since last restart'. -- Andy Fragen On Tue, Mar 21, 2006, Rick Lecoat said: >The i

Mikael; I certainly agree that newcomers should be amply catered for; they are the lifeblood of any small developer. However, this is POWERmail... and having a greater degree of sophistication available for those who want it would seem to go along with the name, and cannot be a bad thing provided

Well, the previous discussions about this subject (and there have been many!) would seem to favour having the RMW turned into a sort of smart folder in the folder list, presumably positioned alongside the In Tray and Out Tray. Thus it wold be no more intrusive than any other folder -- if you don't
