Hi, all,

as the numerous people stopped applausing, told them:
TF> I think the definition "have opened that folder already" makes sense.
TF> OTOH, I also like Syafril's idea that you can manually "Park"

Why not having both?
Well, if my one is the first ;-)))
C>> For people who has no interest in this kind of color management, just

TF> Agree; but I want the bat to fly only when the messages are "new". :-)
Good idea: it's like having a red and an orange bat!
So, no need to open if there is no red folder.
I like it.
C>> About the use of priority level subfolders, it will change my folders
C>> window to a gas factory,
TF> Nice French idiom (I guess); what does this mean?
Sorry! I thought it was universal ;-)
So, when we say that something (an idea, a software, a project...) is
"une usine à gaz" (a gas factory) it means that it is very
complicated, like a gas factory is, with all these pipes crossing each
other in any direction. :)
It's mainly used in business language, not often in private.
C>> and make me spend lots of time managing this
C>> by hand. Lots of time spent just for the *non-urgent* posts, which is
C>> a strange way to manage the priorities ;)
TF> Guess you're right here. But the manual solution would still come in
TF> handy for me. In my business, there is no such thing as a message that
TF> is not urgent. I reply to messages by time zone; Japan/Australia
TF> first, and then I move my way West bound through Asia, Europe, and
TF> finally the Americas. So any message from Brazil I receive in the
TF> morning doesn't need attention until afternoon, whereas I have to
TF> reply to Australia or NZ right away, as they are two/three hours ahead
TF> of me (I'm in Taiwan). Therefore, some kind of mark for later reply
TF> would come in handy, even if manual.
Yes, I understand manual marking is useful for this.
What I have done, in such a case, is to have filters routing posts to
zone folders. As it's automatically done, it's time saving.
But *you* may have an other way of acting for your own convenience :)
