Hi tracer,

Okay, fair enough, you don't like it for what it is, but it *can* be
resized to a negligible width, its' main purpose aside, and simply
used as an indicator that there *is* unread mail. (Yeah, I know The
Bat flies and that, but I can't see that on my laptop when the TaskBar
is set for auto-hide).
As for the ticker as a ticker - IMHO it's irrelevant. As would be a
boxed list of messages. I find it impossible to use it for pinpointing
a start place for message reading or, with 100+ messages per sitting,
as an overview of what message are there - I merely use it as a route
to the indispensable virtual folder that is its' underlying
technology.
My point is that a double-click on it then takes you straight into the
very virtual folder that so many people say they want. That folder
contains all current unread messages in a format such that you can go
to the top of the list of them and keep pressing space bar to read
your way to the bottom. No folder hopping. No weird Ctrl key-presses
for navigating (apart from, perhaps, Ctrl-* to open all threads to
start with).
