Hi all!
After an upgrade etc. I am BACK! :D I know this thread went way off topic but I
thought I
would give my .02 re: the original post
:D

Hi there Mac..
At first I found this to be a tad annoying. Then I realized it's usefulness in that it
keeps my "new messages", well, "New". If it were to start at the "last" or , most
recent
message received, then it would mark that as "read" upon opening the folder.
Scenario: Sometimes I get a ton of email in one folder. While I *do* have them sorted
accroding to creation time, I do tend to hop around within some folders reading mail
"out of order" . (TB! doesn't have settings for which emails are most important within
a
folder....so I tend to get a lot of excersise LOL)
If I have to leave my desk, which with 3 kids happens A LOT (*rolling eyes...* lol),
and
TB! checks for email in the meantime, the highlight will always stay where I was at the
time I left. It will leave the new unread messages as "new", and I wont get "lost".
Also, if I accidentally click somewhere either changing the folder or unintentionally
closing TB!, when TB! opens up again or after I click back to whatever folder I was in,
Voila!.... TB! is showing me where I left off so I dont have to sort thru a gajillion
emails to find out where I was. Expecially since within some folders I tend to "jump
around a bit" as I mentioned before.
In some respects and to some users it is and may be an annoying thing for the
highlight to
behace this way, but for *me personally* I find it very useful..and Lord knows it's
saved some hair
from being ripped out of my head in frustration. LOL
*smile*
Oh!! I don't think anyone mentioned it, (the thread went WAYYyy off topic so I haven't
read thru *every* message) but, you CAN set the "time" for TB! to mark each message
as "READ".
Go to Account Properties / Options / Time Of Reading To Mark A Message As Read.
I have mine set to 5 seconds. That way even if I skim over messages with the arrow
keys,
INCLDING some slowloading HTML mails (not *all* HTML mails open slow...), if I don't
stop
and "read" them they will remain as "Unread". Set it to whatever your personal
preference
is, but that setting may be helpful....even if the manner of highlighting is slightly
annoying for your personal preference :D
Sorry for the belated post :D And it's only my opinion :D
Regards,
~~~Angel ...your RDR "I am out of my mind..but please feel free to leave a message at
the hollow-tone.."
