Admittedly it's an improvement. Instead of scattered articles, you
have scattered threads from different folders. Progress.
Now, what about the messages not on the ticker? If you work at your
computer, as I do, you probably have some folders marked not to
show up on the ticker. Getting to the unread articles in them is
still a chore with the current available key strokes.

Yes, this would help. To me, though, the most *logical* behavior
would be (1) if there are no unread messages in a folder, open it at
the last read message, but (2) if there are unread messages in a
folder, open it from the first unread message. As others have
expressed, I don't ordinarily go back and look at read messages, and
when I do, it's not necessarily the last one I have read. So your
logic here escapes me.
In any case, I'm really asking for flexibility here, rather than
insisting there can only be one logical way to approach folder
navigation.
