alt+v+m enables the message list for the virtual folder which is opened
when you view a message directly from the ticker.

I use one mainly. I however, marked messages as unread across accounts,
enabled the ticker and they were all displayed together in the tickers
virtual folder.
See tiny attachment. I have three accounts, ie, Kasnet, Archives and C&W.
As you can see in the capture, messages from all three accounts are
displayed with the folder column indicating their actual locations.

It's not TB! doing nothing. It's your old machine that is taking forever
to do it's thing. It's holding you back.

Oh dear. You definitely need to upgrade. TB! is not a particularly
demanding windows application. Your productivity, though not paralysed, is
definitely being impaired by your machine. :-(
