Colors are a great way to draw attention to screen objects. Far more effective than most other factors, and this has been scientifically proven. One problem I can see with this scenario is that the user might have to scroll up/down the account tree if they are all expanded, and the offending account might not be immediately visible. I just woke up, though, and my woolly brain fails to suggest a better alternative than below for now :) Apart from this. The log panel at the bottom of the screen has always seemed to be lacking one essential detail to me - the account *name*. I am aware of what it picks out from the log files to display, but it wouldn't be too difficult to tack on an account name to that error. As it stands, I find it not of much use simply because I have so many accounts. Seeing simply "5 messages received" or "error, blah blah" does not help me. In a single account scenario it would be great. If the last one checked also happened to have an error, the log panel could provide a partial solution to Simon's problem. Partial because it won't work if multiple accounts conked out. Or we could have a little error panel button in there somewhere...ahhh..I need to go wake up properly before I do this!
